Thanks all. And the winner is…a null modem cable. ;-(
Didn't realize that was on there as a sex changer. Pulled out, all is well with the word.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

It's about 75ft. It worked over a similar distance (with the same cables) previously.

What's the total distance for the 9pin?

Recently I helped a customer move their machine room and edit systems. It all went well, except for one system which will not do deck control – although it did before the move.
I've hooked up dozens of these over the years but I am stumped.
System is a Win7 HPz440 running Media Composer 8.4.something. I have tried 3 different USB to Serial adapters, 2 Rosetta Stone cables, temp cabling to the machine room and bypassing the machine control patch panel. I am also into a USB2 port since I have found they don't work on USB3.
So probably not hardware.
On the software side I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Keyspan software, confirming it is the same version that other working systems are using. I have also confirmed the same firmware. I have tried various virtual ports, allocated in the Keyspan software.
Any thoughts, suggestions, ideas appreciated.
