Are both ends using the same signaling voltage? Just because something is wired to a DB-9 (or DB-25) doesn't mean it talks +/- 12v (or even +/- 5v.) My Garmin GPS takes extreme liberties with the signaling voltages and only certain serial adapters recognize the 0-5v signal as a usable rs232-like signal. -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.
