Serial port remote problem

Hi.

I try a small project that send command via PC serial port to a PIC12F625 connected without MAX232. I use some example from Serial Port Expander.
Here I try to light a LED connected on pin GP1 of PIC12F625.
The code is in PBP.
I used Visual Basic 6 to build the windows executable.
I used Proteus 7.2 to made the schematic and simulating the circuit; simulation works fine, I put a virtual terminal on pin 3 of serial port and type „a01” to light the led and „a00” to shut the led.
But in practice my project doesn’t work; I have a signal on GPIO.0 port pin of 12F625 but nothing on GPIO.1.
Do you have any ideea?
Thank you.

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub CommandOFF_Click()
    Dim sir As String
    DoEvents
    sir = "a" & "0" & "0"
    MSComm1.Output = sir
    Shape1.FillColor = vbRed
End Sub
 
Private Sub CommandON_Click()
    Dim sir As String
    DoEvents
    sir = "a" & "0" & "1"
    MSComm1.Output = sir
    Shape1.FillColor = vbGreen
End Sub
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
    MSComm1.CommPort = 1
    MSComm1.Settings = "2400,n,8,2"
    MSComm1.InputLen = 0
    MSComm1.RThreshold = 1
    MSComm1.PortOpen = True
    If MSComm1.PortOpen = False Then
        Debug.Print "Port closed"
    Else
        Debug.Print "Port opened"
    End If
End Sub

T2400 use if you have max2323
N2400 without max.
Also add 100K or so pull down on GP0 if you use serin timeout...
