I'm trying to connect to a Cisco router unseeing serial and a serial to usb adapter. I set the serial settings like it said in the manual but all i get is OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
any help?

What version of Absolute and what version of Windows are you using?

Check to make sure you have the latest firmware update for your modem. THis is the most common problem I see, especially with Windows 7.

well i am using absolute 9.18 and windows vista 64 bit. its a Cisco 2514 professional router. to update the firmware i have to connect to it verse serial which is what i'm having trouble with

Right.

What I'm saying is first you may need to check the firmware on the serial to USB adapter. If it is not working, check to see if it is compatible with Vista, then check to make sure you have the latest firmware for it.

well i did try updating to the latest driver and i did try using the adapter on something else and it seem to work .

My router does not seem to work on windows 7. It works well on XP. What changes do i need to make now?

well i fixed the problem, what happen was the bit rate setting on the router was set lower then the default.
