Hi Seth,

I checked my serial cable and I connected it like this:

PC DB25 (9 to 25 pin cable) SBC (25 pin female)

2 TD----------------------RD

3 RD----------------------TD

7 GND---------------------GND

6 DSR---------------------DTR

20 DTR----+----------------DSR

5 CTS----+

It is the same as what you have except pin 20 DTR and 5 CTS are wired

together.  This allows hardware handshaking using HyperTerm.

As to whether it is actually using hardware handshaking is probably a

matter for debate but at least it doesn't hang anymore...

:-)

Thanks and have a nice day!

Andrew Lynch
