I figured since I screwed up yesterday and was troubleshooting
a problem I was having for about 2 hrs I would post here
so we could laugh at my stupidity. Post your funny stories
also.

So I have a system that includes a Polycom HDX-8000 being
controlled by a T4 and XP8 out the the RS232 port number
1. I was having a problem controlling the Polycom. I checked
all programming and made sure that port 1 was in there
right. I called Polycom to see if my serial strings might
be wrong, despite the fact that I got the strings straight
out of their Integrators Guide. They couldn't help me
so I called RTI. While talking to RTI I saw that instead
of the commands being on RS232 port 1 they were on CM232
port 1. And worse then that was as per my usual I had
even labeled all the ports in the software and the RS232
port 1 was labeled Polycom. Yup I felt like an id 10 t!!

We also found out later that one piece of the Polycom
setup was bad and not alllowing me to control the camera
only the HDX codec itself.

So post up your funny RTI related screw-ups.

called RTI? When the heck did you have time to call RTI... You kept calling me. I told you first... "Are you sure its on the right port!!!" :)

I'll talk to you at some point today.
