Null Modem Connector Settings in Terminal (70047)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 3.0
  • Microsoft Windows 3.0a

This article was previously published under Q70047
When using Terminal for null modem communications, you must set the Connector field to match the communications port to which the null modem cable is connected.

The "Microsoft Windows User's Guide" for version 3.0 incorrectly states on page 328 that "If you are using a null modem, select None" for the Connector field of the Communications dialog box under the Settings menu of Terminal. If the Connector is set to None, Terminal cannot send or receive data.

This documentation error does not occur in later versions of Windows.
