Help with linking OI and RC over Internet....

My team is trying out an interesting project; namely, we are making a robotic hall monitor that can be controlled over the Internet. But we've hit a roadblock of sorts.

We have 2 GW21W's, one connected to the Tether port on the OI, and one to the Tether port on the RC. I know that the two are connected (their status pages say they're connected to each other), but for some reason, there is no data passing between them. What I'm thinking the problem is that the serial port on the RC GW21W is improperly configured for outputting to the RC.

So what I need to know is this (If indeed my theory is right);

The flow control scheme that the RC uses, and the bit parity. Also, if you have any ideas (pitfalls to look out for, questions, etc.) feel free to post them.

A thousand thanks to all those help us .
