Serial Cable Ripping Problems

[JonnyThunder]

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a shot. The problem I'm having occurs right after it starts receiving the first file though (at the same place every time).

I'm sure either I'm doing something wrong or the cable isn't working. but if the cable weren't working, there wouldn't be any legible feedback from the DC. (Sorry.... was thinking out loud!)

I shall mess with it though. Any further help would be great.
