and it works!!!

OS: XP now
serial connector still the RS232 DBA9 on the MOBO....

.....but a different PC

so I have to understand now, if the problem is due to the hardware or to the OS (SEVEN before)

edit: typos

I think it could be really a problem in rs232 port on my notebook..
on the same machine I swapped 10, seven, and XP.
drivers correctly installed, it does not work
HFC are disabled but when I connect the cable I must see CTS and DSR high, due to the loops on the connector, like on the other PC working.....

I must say that the TOSHIBA laptop works and the HP not with CLs

That's funny so that I 'll take the time to open the notebook to check what is wrong....actually I've never used the RS232with tis laptop for other purposes, just I did it to upgrade my CL
