Hi John
I felt I should clarify so someone reading this in the future does not get confused.
Tnx for your report
Ergo, the serial port on the Dell Notebook is causing the problem. I do not know if it is either a hardware, firmware, or software problem. Some day I will have sufficient curiosity and time to dig into it (I retired after 42 years in the computer field).
Once you'll dig into please update me: my curiosity is already at "red level" ;)
