I have used connection software with a Win95/98 PC with no problems, so
there must be something going on. Can you give us more detail?
Let's start with the basics: what connection software are you using,
specifically? Have you set the connection settings to the proper serial
port?
I would be willing to work with you off-list if that would help. Email me
privately if that would be of benefit to you.
