Hello everyone :

I have a commodore vic 20 and a votrax type and talk, ever since i played the scott adams text games i have wanted them to talk... i finally score on ebay and have a vic rs232 com port adapter and and the games to play,

i have a straight db 25 cable, and a db 25 null modem cable i have tried both and when the votrax is powered up it says system ready...

i am not sure what the baud should be set at 300 i believe, but when i boot up the game and press v to activate the votrax nothing happens...

is there a program i need to type first to get it to talk? which cable should i be using? and can someone confirm what the baud rate should be set at....

Any help getting these games to talk would be appreated.....
