#88454 - too much confidence
Responding to: ???'s previous message
i purchased a new mainboard, so the com port is fine.

If it was guaranteed that on "on a new mainboard the com port is fine" then why would the PC makers have a return policy?.

The fact that you have "a new mainboard" does in no way guarantee that the com port is OK. I dimly recall that on some shady motherboards the RS-232 is not up to snuff even when no component is broken.
