Subject: null modem help

hello all ....

    i guess its time i stop being a 'lurker' after seeing all
the good info thats come across the net....  and ask the experts
what i am doing wrong! i am trying to get to H89's (z80 cpu) to 
talk to each other. i first tried going rs-232 cables to a modem
on each machine then a direct phone connect cable instead of going
into the wall i went to the other modem with xmodem running on 
each machine. but i could not get the modems to "See" each other.
next step i tried to use a null modem cable going from one modem
port to the other. no luck there either. i guess this weekend ill
try a regular rs-232 cable from modem port to modem port and see 
if that will work. all the time i am using xmodem for software.
any and all assistance will be appreciated.
thank-you in advance
