Look here regards cable/cables to use and comm port settings http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...-eurovox-9786/

I would recommend using a desktop with a serial port, unless you are happy to go into the settings of your laptop to change the com settings if using usb to serial cable. Are you using the correct cable?? It should be null modem cable RS232.

Like reddave says a null modem cable is what you need and a compatible computer
