Is the 9pin Male/Male adaptor a null modem adaptor, if not you
will need to add a 9pin adaptor in the chain somewhere.
I have the HP serial adaptor set (which I got with a 200LX) which
contains a null modem adaptor and this is what I have used.

Setup is:
OGO <--> Ogo Cable <--> Null Modem adaptor <--> External Fax/Modem

COM 1 in OGCOMM worked with this.

Hope this helps
