Still having no luck..
So i thought id buy another null modem cable but from ebay this time.
But cant find one that as a usb on one end and rs232 on the other like the one i bought from my local shop for my laptop.


Have i been sold the wrong cable
Do all null modem cables have an RS232 on both ends
