He did.  After asking me to run some tests, Randy said i could send it back. 
I just got it back yesterday and it's working again.

Greg Nowak pegged the problem too -- bad serial cable.  I kind of suspected 
that too but the one thing that made me doubt it was that I couldn't get it 
to work by jiggling the cable.  I think the pins inside the molded end were 
bad and that may be why jiggling it didn't help. .
