When WriteLog starts, Does Router show "open 4800 8N2" in 
the CAT port?  If not, WriteLog is not opening the correct 
port.

I do not believe there should be a space between COM5: and 
=4800. 

Have you turned off the handshaking (Menu 29) in the FT2000? 
What handshake options are you using with DXLab/Commander? 
Is WriteLog using the same options? 

73,
