[FADCA] stumped

Hi guys,

I'm not sure who can help but I am stumped with interfacing the FPAC switch
with my MSYS box.

This is what I have done. Using a null modem cable, I have established a
serial cable link between the two computers. I have installed a serial port
analyzer on the line and it clearly shows that all lines are active plus you
can see the TD and RD lines blink when information is passing.  MSYS sees
the FPAC connect request and responds. FPAC does not see what MSYS is
sending. I even went as far as installing a TNC on the serial cable to make
sure that MSYS was talking to the port correctly. Is it because that MSYS
uses simple KISS instead of the BPQKISS  or whatever FPAC uses that I am
having these problems?

Any suggestions are welcome.
