    So, does this configuration work elsewhere?
    What do you see when you put a break-out box between the terminal and the scanner? Between the scanner and the host?

    Is data passing through but not handshaking?
    The break-out box will tell you.

    Just had a 3rd party send us a Motorola barcode scanner with its own power supply. They also made a special cable with 2 ends. One end plugs into the cable to the host, the other plugs into the modem port of the Wyse50. The baud rate is 9600 for both
    the scanner and the Wyse50. The Wyse50 communicates with the host but when I plug the power cord into the scanner, the Wyse50 session freezes. Any help would be appreciated.

    Temp workaround: just yell out, "Price check on terminal 3!!!"
