Hello Marty,

My old friend and the person responsible for recommending Writelog to me.

DTR Pin 1 on DB9 connector, Pin 8 on older DB25 serial connector.

RTS Pin 7 on DB9 connector, Pin 4 on older DB25 serial connector.

GND Pin 5 on DB9 connector, Pin 7 on older DB25 serial connector.

Hope this helps.
