Hi,


I just finished making the $4 serial link cable, but I have a question..
When I test it with a multimeter (as recommended in the docs) when I open
up my comm program (that accesses COM1) I get the 5.1v and -.7 volts as
said in the text file.  However, the port stays "dead" (i.e. no voltage)
when I access it with the ThriftyLink or Ti Graph-Link software.  Why?  Is
this normal?


Thanks,
