Hello: Here is an update. I think the serial port is hosed. I shorted pins 2 and 3 on the cable for a loopback test. There was no response from that computers serial port. I took the cable over to another computer and shorting 2-3 while typing in a comm program echo'd the character input.
I think the UARTs or something on the motherboard related to serial port --> computer communication is on the fritz. Most likely I will move the modem to a different computer. thank you for your help, aaron From: Aaron M.
