I am trying to communicate with a serial timeclock, it works if I run on the PC that the clock is connected to, but when I try to access it from a remote PC, it doesn't see the clock... According to the software, connection is established! I have another serial device, that DOES work! Is there some kind of LOG that I can produce to give more information?
