I'm assuming you've used the Axe controller software successfully **prior** to testing the terminal programs. On other projects I have seen what appears to be intelligent information coming from a device, but it was in fact gibberish interpreted by the terminal program. This was due to incorrect comm settings on one end or the other. There's nothing like a third party, in this case a serial snoop device, to ensure that everyone is on the same page and speaking the same dialect. :-) -=Doug
