Managers,
I have received countless emails from countless people after I sent out
the first summary. Most noticed that I was using a DB25-DB9 cable,
which I thought was a null modem cable because they had pin 2 and 3
reversed. After reading the emails, the consensus was that I did NOT
have a null modem cable. Pins 2 and 3 were not supposed to be crossed.
So I bought a null modem adapter and pow! it worked like a charm. I
thank you so much managers for being so damn smart! =]
