have never used usb-to-serial devices, so I'm probably wrong here... wondering if, on the system where you work, have you tried using the reset or tset command? otherwise, though *being a Linux user I hate to suggest this*, but have you tried the "universal-fix-all-problems" technique that Windows users learn early on, i.e., reboot one or both systems? rebooting one of the systems then trying to connect may tell you which system is wedged. maybe. Good luck!
