Not sure I saw what type of hardware you had (apologies if I missed it), but typically to connect to PCs together, as John mentions, you need a null modem cable, not a straight through cable. Straight through cables are usually used to connect PC's to modems (or should I go technically correct and say DTE's to DCE's :) - DCE to DCE needs to cross over pins 2 and 3 - rx/tx - which is what a null modem cable does). You probably already know that, if you didn't, you do now, if you did, it's good for list archival :) --Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
