Most likely the problem is a mismatch in the serial communications
parameters. For example, suppose that one end is set up to use 19200
Baud, No Parity and 8 Databits and the other workstation is set up to
use 19200 Baud, No Parity and 2 Stopbits.
Check that the parameters that you use match exactly.
If that does not cure the problem, check the cable connection for
wiring faults.
