Guy,
You may want to check with the manufacturer since you may have a
defective board. My understanding is that RS-232 is required to have
signals between +3 Volts and +25 Volts for the space and between -3
Volts and -25 Volts for mark. You might also want to make sure that
+12 Volts is getting to the motherboard.
