Carrier Detect dropped with Null Modem cable ?
Hi... it'll probably jump out when I debug the code but has anyone got a 'must be' answer for the fact that my CD Holding has gone low even though I have a null modem cable attached to another RS-232 device. I know the cable is OK because i have used Terminal.exe (W3.x) and it works fine....
hope someone has an idea

Is the a comm control question? In which case what are your port/handshaking settings?

Hi !! well for some reason CD is now being detected. Win 2000 being a bugger ? Anyway, I am using an Xmodem protocol (which I am about to post a query on) this sends 128 bytes at a time then waits for a ACK or NAK response. This avoids the problems with buffer overflow. Thanks for your comments..

You send an invoice to Bill Gates re: language referrence ommissions. If every body did this MS may be a bit more thorough when creating the documentation.
