At first I thought it was an error in the program, so I wrote it in the machine manually and it works. Then I keep trying to transfer the program and occassionally it will go through with no error. This means that it can't be the program...must be a comm error but I can't figure out what the problem is. Cable is made according to the Heid manual (with jumper) and I have set the machine parameters as best I can according to the manual (I'll admit I don't know exactly what all the stuff in there means!)
Anyone else have any ideas?

Ryan, this is EXACTLY the problem I had last year with my Interact1 / TNC151B. It turned out that I had the control in the wrong mode and when corrected all is sweetness and light!
