I have an RS-232 serial on my computer I connect with a null modem
cable
Procomm plus tells me "I am connected"

, but

_no data is present on my Procomm screen
_The SD and RD lights flicker with every keystroke

I have the same _problem with HyperTerminal

I tried different ports and different resources with the ports No
luck

Question:

Where does Procomm look for data being sent and received?

Can I change that Location

Thank you

Are you trying to connect to a modem or another PC? If a modem,
you don't want a null modem cable.

If the problem is just that you can't see what you're typing,
perhaps you just need to turn Local Echo on ATE1

If you are connecting your PC serial port to another computer via the null
modem cable, then you need to define the correct serial port and also set
the speed, # of data bits, parity, stop bits and flow control settings.
Most other computers use 9600, 8, None, 1, and none respectively. You can
generally use a "set to/restore defaults" to get that configuration. Unless
you have multiple RS232 ports, the connector on the computer back is usually
COM1. Good luck.
