RE: Comfort sending RS232 commands - any success ?

["Phil Harris" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

But if Comfort and the plasma are both DCE serial ports (I'm sure this is
the way it works) then you'll need to use a null modem cable to connect two
"like" ports together...

You usually use a straight through cable when you're connecting a DTE and
DCE port together...
