[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 650442, member: 176256"] They both use the same cable and ends (although there are 9 pin and 25 pin variants on both) but the null modem cable has the transmit and receive cables cross linked from one end to the other rather than straight through. See _http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_modem for further information. If needs a null modem cable and it's not a null modem cable then it won't work. If you haven't got a serial port on your computer then that's a different kettle of fish. There are USB to serial adaptors but they are a bit tricky to set up I believe. PS Please put an underscore before any links [/QUOTE]
