My laptop is brand new - so im not sure if it has the RS232 port - but it does however, have a port which looks like it - but I think its to connect to a monitor - but not sure if the null modem cable goes in here or not?! The cable which I am currntly using (which either is not working, or the wrong cable) is a USB Male to RS232 serial with an attached female to female gender changer converter. Your help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks

complete newbie here - as you can tell :-)
You need one of these, your new laptop will not have a seial port so you need to use your USB port https://www.satellitetv.ie/computer-...rial-converter
