Then your hardware is wired in a non-standard way. If you were using a
regular serial port, which, by the way, *must* have all of the handshake
signals wired, as well as transmit and receive, a null-modem cable would be
used to make the connection. In this case, it would appear that you're
going to have to make sure that the signals presented on the end of the
custom cable that you're going to have to build, match what a standard port
would show when connected with a null modem cable.
What hardware are we talking about?
