[Elecraft] computer - P3 - K3 communications blues

[eric manning]

I have a Windows XP box connected to my K3 using a USB port on the box 
and a Prolific
USB-to-Serial adapter. It all works FB,  N1MM Logger and SKimmer talk to 
the K3
via LP Bridge and the USB/serial link perfectly, including N1MM keying 
the rig.

THEN I hooked up my nice new P3 today.
It talks to the K3 FB - it gets freq data from the K3 and sends VFO 
changes to the K3.
Everything else I've tested on the P3 also seems to work FB.

HOWEVER, the PC cannot talk to the K3 THROUGH the P3 - via either the 
Prolific USB/serial link  - or via a purely RS-232 link using the serial 
port on the windows box, which I also tried.
[Just in case it was a USB incompatibility issue]

K3 Utility running in the Windows box polls the K3 via the link and the 
P3 and gets no response.
Everything is set to 38,400 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
The P3 is running the firmware which was installed at Elecraft, it was 
shipped to me a week ago.

Any suggestions - please?
