i fixed mine :)) my device was a "bit" slow.. :))
i had to send the string to it a few times so it would wake up :))
i just put the SerSend() call in the loop that waits for a timeout
and wola.. it works :)

like usual.. as soon as you post.. yuo try something new and you think
"darnnit.." why did i not try that before i hit send :)
