No, it looks like you have anything setup alright. I'd suspect the cable if I were you, are you sure it's a null modem cable?
That's what I bought it to be originally - but I never got to use it before now so I am not altogether sure that it is wired correctly. Even if it is maybe going a little to far persevering with this subject here I am laying out the wiring below in case you or anyone else might tell me if it is okay or not: Two 25 pin female connectors (C1 & C2) Pin # color/wire C1: C2: 1 brown brown 2 red orange 3 orange red 4 yellow green 5 green yellow 6 - - 7 blue blue 8 lilac black 9 - - 10 - - 11 - - 12 - - 13 - - 14 grey - 15------ ----- | wire thickish | 16 | + red | | | 17------ white ----- grey 18 - - 19 - - 20 black lilac 21 - - 22 - - 23 - - 24 - white 25 - With regards to pin 15+17 it means that C1 & C2 are jumpered with a thickish red wire and that pin 17 has an additional white respectively grey wire going to it. This layout is somehwat different from the diagram over a null modem cable found at http://sunsite.dk/hwb/ - but pins 2-5 are indeed crossed over and isn't that what's essential here?
