Isn't that circuit only required because the TM-G707 uses the same connector for programming as for the audio and COR?

I have just tried with a belkin USB serial dongle and get the exact same errors. I can see data going out on the TX light but no rx light ever flashes. It's like the radio is not talking to the system. As a test I tried the Kenwood RCP software with the same USB dongle and it works file.
Am I supposed to set the baud rate somewhere?

I am haveing trouble setting up a remote base using a TM-271A. I have the folloing settings in my rpt.conf
[2555] ; Node id of Remote Base rxchannel = Radio/usb1 ; Rx audio/signalling channel functions = functions-remote phone_functions=functions-remote remote=tm271 ioport = /dev/ttyS0 ; Specify port for serial port (optional) memory = memory ; Section to hold memory entries (optional) authlevel = 0 ; Anyone can use it duplex=0 statpost_program=/usr/bin/wget,-q,--output-document=/dev/null ; Program and options to send stats statpost_url=http://stats.allstarlink.org/uhandler.php ; URL for status updates
When I connect I get serial errors, am I missing something?

The baud rate is fixed in the app_rpt s/w.
The problem is very likely to be in the interface. What are you using for an interface? Note the interface is not the usb to serial converter, and it is not the pre-made up Kenwood serial cable either. It is usually a homebrew circuit which merges the output from the sound fob and the serial port together, oh, and it requires power from the modified FOB as well.
Please refer to the interface circuit here:
