Remote COM Port - Problem in communication via Piracom

Problem in communication via Piracom

Hi,
I am trying to control a device using Piracom. I enabled the "log to file" and noticed that every character I send is doubled. For example if I send a command abc, I see in the log file aabbcc.
I use TeraTerm terminal in the remote computer.
Any idea what's wrong?

Thx

Echo is enabled on remote device. Nothing is wrong.

Hi again,

Actually I noticed that Piracom adds a null character (char(0)) to each command that was sent. This null does not exist when working with direct RS232. (I used a serial port monitor SW to see this). It seems that my serial device does not "like" this null character.
Any idea how to omit this null?

Thanks

I don't think this is possible. The piracom cannot add any characters to the commands as it does not contain any command interpreter nor detector. There must be another reason.
