I'll create an adapter with the below specs when I return to work on Monday. So I should use the 2 pair (4 wire) cross over cable with this new adapter?

As for the COmdial version, I'm pretty sure it 13B. VMMI version I think is 15.

I'll try with hyperterm first and if it works I can use the VMMI app. For a newbie like myself the GUI is nice.

Thanks and have a good weekend!

Make sure your settings are correct.
9600 8N1 com1. You only need 3 wires. Transmit, receive and signal ground. I have 4 DB9 connectors made and I jack into Comdial on regular basis. Use hyperterm initially. Colors red-2 grn-3 blk-5 and I use a 4-pin crossover line cord.
Possible combinations. There are no more!
red-2 grn-3 blk-5
red-3 grn-2 blk-5
red-2 grn-3 yel-5
red-3 grn-2 yel-5
Tape off all other wires individually.
If the machine talks to you but in machine lang your settings are wrong and your pinout is correct.
If the DXP is very busy, the com port may not react. The com priority from the processor is extremely low. </font>
