I think I know where you are going with this, Dave. Are you implying that if I solder 3 individual wires to the pins on my PCB that are TX, RX and GND and then connect those three wires to a DB-9 connector, I can jurry-rig a serial interface to my PCB?

I could do this if that is what you are implying, but I also have the problem that none of our computers have a serial interface on them....they are all newer computers and it seems that only older computers have RS-232. I supposed we could try to use a USB to RS-232 converter cable, but we have had very bad experience in trying to use those...they typically don't work well with serial applications.
