WC direct link setup

Hi, I recently got the CD version of World Circuit. It is supposed to allow a direct connection between my two machines via a serial cable and Null modem connector. But when I try to establish the link both computers just sit there. One says "waiting" and the other says "starting". Occasionally I've seen a symbol with two linked computers appear in the upper left corner of the screen, and once even saw this appear on both computers but no luck. I don't know what else to try. Does anyone have any suggestions? One computer is set up to lead and the other is setup to follow. I've tried this at 2400 bps on both machines and have triple checked to make sure I've selected the correct comm ports. I am also pretty sure that the cables and connectors are ok. I say this because I was able to run a serial file transfer program through the same connection without any problem. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Derek
