Hi all,
I'm getting a weird problem when using a null modem cable to connect two PCs together, using Hyperterminal. I'm doing this to test RS232 ports (used a loopback without any issues). Once I've made the connection (both ways) I am getting symbols for every second character. This only happens when I keep a key held down, it happens with any key. I've checked the settings in hyperterminal both ends are setup the same, also it is only happening in one direction. The machine recieving the symbols has a configurable 4 port RS232 card. I am convinced it is something to do with this.
I have connected two ports on the card together, no symbols. Any external rs232 connection causes the symbols.
I know this is a long shot but has anyone got a clue what this could be?
Cheers,
Chylok
