Hi Bruce,

Ok, I'll get rid of it...

DEFINE LOADER_USED 1... I tried it without.

Connections on the PC or the max232?

On my laptop I got USB to DB9 connector...worked 2 minutes
and I did get too PCMCIA to rs232...with Vista

Connection from max232 to DB9 male seems allright

Be patient with me I new with this...tanks again...
