Many years ago I often had to connect up gear with RS232 interfaces, and 
it was a pain, as there was often no manual for the gear or the manual 
was badly written and the author used the RS232 "standard" terms in a 
cavalier way.

So I used an RS232 breakout box to try and identify RXD and TXD, and 
what the various pins did, and what had to be strapped to what to get 
either end to speak! Oh happy days - NOT!

Good luck with the project.
