Why did you change the COM port to number 3? Surely if the PCI card contains the only RS232 port on your computer, it would be COM1? Do you have an onboard RS232 port?

OK, are all the settings correct in Voxer? Sorry for all the questions but I need as much information as I can get to help diagnose your problem.
