[Dxbase] DXBase 2005 rig control for IC746

[FireBrick]

Greg
Just a shot in the dark as I do not have Icom.
But...I just read in another reflector that a Icom owner was having trouble controlling 
his SteppIR.
Someone suggested checking the Icom menu to see if the CIV interface was turned on.
That did it even though the owner said that other software worked normally.

Still no joy here, but I find that I receive the following when I attempt to
retrieve the frequency/mode from the radio using Alt-Q:

VFOa -816825.13
VFOb
Mode CW

I have searched the archives but found nothing.  Can someone help me figure
this out?

I apologize for this in advance, but can someone tell me the settings (both
rig and software) for interfacing DXBase 2005 with an IC746 via serial port?
At one time I had this working, but no longer.  Oddly enough, I have the rig
interfaced using Writelog and that works perfectly.  However, I can't get
DXB to work using the same settings.  I don't get an error message, but I
have no control of the rig, and DXBase does not retrieve the Freq/Mode etc.

OS:  WinXP SP1 (on a Laptop with one serial port)

DXBase 2005
HF Rig Interface: checked
DTR: checked
RTS: checked
Port: COM1
Baud:  1200
Word:  8
Stop:  1
Parity:  NONE
Pegasis:  NONE

Rig   IC746
CI-V Tansceive:  ON
Address:  56h
Baud:  1200

This does not work.  What am I missing?

Thanks,
