Zapmk,

You are welcome!

The wires names are throwing you off.

A straight cable connects DTE to DCE, called a modem cable.
Pin 2 connects to 2 and 3 to 3. Each end pin 2 has the same name yet, one trans other receives! Can be very confusing.

The Mate's modem is receiving from the Mate as the PC's modem is transmitting to the PC!!
Simple:-)

I assumed you tested out the PC end but had to ask... should have worked.
Glad it did. Good to keep in practice doing serial work, been too long.

Have fun,
Scott.
