Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Bill, I'm not familiar with the language that you're using but it appears to me that you may be sending the control characters (@ and A) instead of the printable 0 and 1 characters (which have ASCII codes of 48 and 49 decimal). Try changing your code to send 48 in place of the zero and 49 in place of the one. Hope this helps, Kelly Kohls, N5TLE Bedford, TX I am using: http://www.oshonsoft.com/pic.html I am not (or not intending to) send charaters, I want to send numerical values. Hyperterminal shows what I assume to be everything but the unprintables in it's window. I need numerical values to come out the other end at the PC.
