[TowerTalk] RS-232 control of M2 Rotator

I'm trying to remote my home station.  The last piece of the puzzle
for (non-QRO) operation is the rotator.  I've tried several things to
get RS-232 control of my M-Squared rotator to work, but so far no
luck.  The rotator control box seems to be trying to communicate.  I'm
using the standard M-Squared control box.  I see data coming back from
the rotator, but it appears to be the wrong baud rate.  I've tried
every baud rate (including the one that the manual claims should work)
so far with no luck.  I've tried controlling it with Hyperterm and
with DX4WIN.  Neither works.  This serial port works fine for other
purposes.  This is a real RS-232 port; not a USB-to-serial converter.
Anyone got any tips before I call M-Squared?
