Hi Barbara,
this looks like the data gets garbled when it is received on the PC side.
I don't know too much about Windows 95, but two things come to my mind:
a) the PC is too slow - unlikely, since the serial driver almost works on my 386
b) interrupt conflict
Find out, which interrupt the serial port uses. Make sure that no other device tries to use the same interrupt.
Maybe plug your mouse to the other serial port and try the serial cable on the other (change in driver setup required)
In my 3.11 driver there is also an 'advanced' setting to assign more computing time to the processing of incoming events. Read the driver doc (readme).
