The first thing to check is to make sure that you have the correct serial
ports. Also make sure that the ports are "alive" in both machines'
hardware configurations and that you do not have other devices (like
internal modems) stealing their IRQs and I/O channels.

No, since there is no modem affecting line voltages.
