I am using the same ADT cable I usually use and with all the tinkering around I have done on the serial port @ 115200 its pretty stable in the cable department

The baud rate runs at a fixed 115.2 kbaud (undocumented) which may or may not be stable on some //c's.  Can you confirm what revision of //c you're using?  (e.g. I'm using a "255", aka rev 0)

I wasnt able to get that file to run, barfed up a bunch of errors, dont have time tonight to fiddle with it, but I will get it working, thanks again

on the cable, the circle connector is the worst, thats why I used a ready made one.

solder cups on the db9 are easy, twist tight and tin your wires, trim them a little, fill the cups with solder and go back and remelt them while poking the tinned wire in, easy
