thankz about the rs232. I tried altering the code re those inversions but no
luck. I have an rs232 breakout setup on the line so today i'll try recording
the, errrm(!) "sigs", then take a close look at them with CoolEdit. Another guy
came up with a URL for Kodak's software developers, so there might be a lead
there.

2 unknowns is a problem alright. I have a 16F877 but i'm still on the learning
curve with it re modules etc. :(
thankz 4 ur help!
