I get a "PC timed out" error when starting Swat.
Q. I get a "PC timed out" error when I use Swat, but everything seems to be set up correctly as far as the null modem settings. A. Sometimes it's not always the modem settings that cause a time out with Swat. If you're in the wrong directory on the target machine, Swat will give you a time-out error. This doesn't make sense, but that's how it is. You should be in the GEOS2XEC or ZOOMEREC directory when running PCCOM on the target. Also, if you're running under Windows '95 or NT and have a command prompt window opened, and it's using the serial port, Swat won't be able to use that port. Make sure to close any prompts that had at any time used the serial port (i.e. you ran Swat or pccom, pcsend, pcget, etc.).
