Are both ends using the same signaling voltage?  Just because something
is wired to a DB-9 (or DB-25) doesn't mean it talks +/- 12v (or even +/-
5v.)  My Garmin GPS takes extreme liberties with the signaling voltages
and only certain serial adapters recognize the 0-5v signal as a usable
rs232-like signal.
