When a program asserts these to go high, the voltage is supposed to increase to more than +3VDC, right?
Looking at my multimeter, mine aren't doing anything, yet when I connect DTR to DSR or RTS to CTS, they pass the loopback test.
Yes, my multimeter is set and working correctly. Yes, I am sure I am looking it the right pins. I have tried every pin, just to make sure (it's a 9 pin connection) and I don't see any voltage, plus or minus out of any of the pins. Yet the loopbacks are working just fine.
I'm using Win2k and the B&B Electronics Comtest program.
