Bob:
Find someone with an oscilloscope and check the data coming
out of the receiver. You want to see nice clean looking square
waves. Adjust the timebase until they appear to stand still.
The key pattern to look for is the vertical rise in the waveform.
It must be 100% vertical. If you are seeing bits going up or down
at the slightest angle then you have a problem. You may have fried
the output RS232 driver chip in the box or you may just have too
many computers loading the output. Look at the waveform with the
machines connected too. You must see nice clean square waves or
they can be very easily misinterpreted...resulting in bad data,
bad dates and a bad day.
