[ICOM] IC-706MKIIG & CT-17 Update

[N5PA]

OK, sports fans, here is the lasted update in the saga to get my IC-706MKIIG
talking to DX4WIN and WriteLog.  I went home at lunch and changed some
settings in DX4WIN and on the 706, no cigar.  Next I loaded the testing
software CIVTEST to test communications between the radio and the computer.
First I tested the CT-17 on COM4 and I could not communicate.  Then I tested
the CT-17 on COM1 and the same results, no communications.  I have one of
those cables made by the N9 in Arkansas and put it in line.  First I tried
COM1 and it worked!  Then I tried COM4 and it did not work.  I only have
COM1 internal to my computer and then I have a ByteRunner Serial card with
COM ports 4 through 11 on a spider cable.  I know COM8 is working because
that is how I key my Mark-V with the W5XD interface.  So I moved the cable
back to COM1 and changed DX4WIN to COM1 and again, no cigar.  

There are 8 settings for the second radio in DX4WIN and here are my
settings:

Type: ICOM 706
Address: 48
Baudrate: 9600
COM Port: 1
Poll Rate (ms): 5000
Max Tries: 6
DTR high: checked
RTS high: unchecked

I know that the rig talks to the computer when I use CIVTEST but it does not
work with DX4WIN.  I need some configuration help at this point and then I
can figure out why COM4 does not work.
