Brij,

Since you are missing the "A" in "ACK", I am guessing that you have a buffering issue...

I had a very difficult time trying to get hyperterminal to work with another device recently and ending up abandoning it for another communications package (I used VBTerm) which worked fine... HT has issues...

However, since the gui is not working either, I would check both the port settings and advanced port settings on the com ports. Also, check for hardware and/or software conflicts.

Regards,

Mike
