one thing you may want to check is if your connecting a dte to a dce.
in other words you might need a "null modem"
computers are uasually data terminal equipment and you cannot connect two alike
systems together without a null modem.
must have dte to dce.
another thing is dte equipment is uasually male and dce is female.
