i think the IEEE specs say something about a limitation on the length
of a serial cable...   that might be why the errors at that length...
have you tried a shorter cable?

i prefer {Commo} by Fred Bruker.  you can find it at:

ftp://ftp.ordata.com/COMMO  (the latest version is in COMMO75.ZIP.
the rest of the files are macros and stuff.  {Commo} is a VERY
flexible program...  <g>)

hope this helps...
