    I've tried that, but it runs just fine. No error is given, but nothing happens either. Any other ideas, or a different method perhaps?

      Man, I wish I'd bookmarked the sites I visited while researching this... well, anyhow, if you look around, there's some software for Linux that will let you throw up a fake device (some kind of simulator to let you work out programming the serial port). Well, I dunno, google is your friend because this is just something I'm interested in rather than an area of expertise.
