Folks,

I have solved the problem, and I can now program the SLC500 through the Moxa.

I enabled data logging on the Moxa and I saw that the received data from the PLC was identical to transmitted data to it.  I then found that this was true even when the PLC was off!  It was clearly a cable problem, as Mark K. suggested.

I misread the pinout of the RJ45 connector on the Moxa.  Interestingly, although EIA-561 specifies the pinout for RS-232 on RJ45, I have yet to find a vendor who actually follows the EIA-561 standard.  Moxa and ProSoft use a completely different pinout.

Fun right?  I used to keep a printout of this table on my desk @nsls2.
It wasn't exhaustive then, so I'm certain it isn't now.
