Got my =A399 Dell server running lovely now on Win2003.
=20
But something seems to have gone wrong....
=20
I'm running Charmed Quark HA software controlling amongst other things CBUS
via the COM port.
=20
All was well, but the COM port seems to have stopped working - it shows up
fine in Control Panel etc - can connect with Hyperterminal, but cant see
anything coming in or out.
=20
Is there a way of actually testing the COM port to see if it is working - i
was told to short a couple of pins out - but not convinced i actually did
i=
t
right - and not sure what would have happened if i did get it right.
=20
Suggestions greatly appreciated before i go and buy a PCI serial card.
=20
After a steep learning curve Charmed Quark is a great piece of software -
and i might even suggest better than Mainlobby :)
