Thanks for your help, but what is a Null Modem Cable ?

It's one of these:-

1.8m Null Modem Cable - Lead RS232 DB9 9 pin FEMALE TO FEMALE | eBay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-8m-Null-Modem-Cable-Lead-RS232-DB9-9-pin-FEMALE-TO-FEMALE-/200899712238?pt=UK_Computing_Parallel_Serial_PS_2&hash=item2ec68e54ee)

Instead of being wired pin for pin (1-1, 2-2, 3-3 etc.) as in a standard serial cable, the tx & rx pins are crossed over so that pin2 > pin 3, & pin3 > pin2.
