I had the same problem.  I could link to a 92 from my PC (which was a
Pentium75 with Win95 at that time).  However, I could not link to my 86
until I added an add-on I/O card to it (8-bit).  It was not very
expensive and had on-board jumpers to enable and disable the different
ports.  I was able to link perfectly after installing it.  I suspect you
have the same problem as I did, and you only need to add an I/O card to
use the link with your WinNT computer.  This is just what happened to me
and the cause of your problem may be different than mine.
