Bill,

If you are using a USB to serial adapter, try setting the speed as high 
as you can - it is counterintuitive, but many adapters have problems at 
low speeds but work fine at higher speeds.  Again make sure everything 
is set for the same speed.
If you possibly can, try using a real serial port, at least as a trial.
