I have a zoom modem on serial a on the cube, and it continues to work fine with its cable. I even tried "testing" serial b by making it the port the modem was connected to, and that worked. I also tried connecting the mac to serial a, but with no success. I guess the new pinouts on the 040 board for serial ports "broke" the cable I was using, but I would have expected the modem connection to break also. Is it time to call NextConnection and get a new cable? Has anyone else experienced a similar problem with 040 breaking the connection to a terminal? Any help will be most welcome.
