Thank you.

Aha. Re-reading that old thread about the serial port wiring, he was talking about the same thing I was saying all along: At ***HIS END***, the computer was getting confused by by the handshaking pins being wired to amp/mute/headlight.

I've been saying this all along: Sure that can happen, but only if the device at the other end of the cable is a) connected to those pins, and b) programmed to respond to signals on those pins. That didn't count in Jag's situation because he said only TX RX and GND were connected at his end.
