Is it possible you'd see roughly the number of bytes you expect, but it would basically look like garbage?

The transmit and receive wires would be backwards so you shouldn't get any output. I would expect garbage if you had the speed set wrong or maybe flow control enabled. Granted I haven't actually tried it. -Mike _________________________ EmpMenuX - ext3 filesystem - Empeg iTunes integration
