Thank you!  I will gladly test it on Friday.  I'm sorry
I can't test it earlier, but I'm reluctant to test things
like this remotely.

@ Jeremy:  Thank you for the detailed response!  I will
make sure to bring a multimeter with me and check the
pin connections on my nullmodem cable.  I'm still curious
why this cable worked with 7.x with the same configuration.

Best regards
   Oliver
