RE: Agilent E2928A PCI analyzer with serial port...

Vincent,

Thanks for the reply.  I bought the Agilent serial cable, and it works fine
now.  I am a bit miffed that the other serial cables I have, that work fine
for everything else, will not work with this board!  I even checked the
pinouts, and they are the same...  But, none the less, I'm up and running
just fine.

Thanks,

Austin
