I experienced the problem when I first set up my system. As has
already been mentioned, this is normally caused by a communication
problem. In my case, the serial cable wasn't plugged in all the way on
the back of the PlayStation. I had to give it a fairly firm push to
seat it. Make sure you're connected correctly, and (I know we've told
you this, but I'm going to repeat it anyway) make sure the baud rates
match.

If you still have trouble after trying these two things, let us know
(again) and we'll figure try to figure it out.
