Apple //c as a Terminal, Part 1

I downloaded a copy of ZLink.  It’s a communications program for the Apple II.  I remember it used to work fairly well.

I swapped laptops in my docking station, so I could try using the Apple //c as a terminal on the Linux laptop.

I’m missing something on the Linux side.  I confirmed that Linux sees the serial port.  I loaded up ZLink on the Apple //c, so it was waiting to connect.

I attempted to set up getty on the Linux laptop to accept a hard wired connection from the Apple //c.  ZLinks status changes as if it is connecting as a vt100 and nothing happend.  I had a thought, maybe I need a null modem adapter.  So I checked the ADTPro web page, where I got my cable and it is already in there.  I also noticed another article about using the Apple //c as a terminal.  I’ll have to try that way tomorrow.
