Hi Celtic. Thanks for all your help. I now know the difference between a Null Modem Cable and an Rs232. Jaysus the education is brilliant here for oul fellas. I left a reply on old post. I eventually got last Null Modem Cable in Maplin. Went to Peat's first they didnt know what I was talking about. The first guy asked another " Nill Mode Cable" I corrected I was then sent to the experts behind a desk Asked again Never heard of em I jogged around to Maplin and got the last one. The guy there said " These are very popular".....Lolololol Thanks again Celtic and Eamo for the software. At least I know I can watch Everton beat Portsmouth in comfort tomorrow...............OR CAN I????????????? Thanks Gang
