Thanks for your help Ken
I think the issue is a hardware one. I was connecting the computer with the following. USB to serial port adapter (it is the Keyspan one that came with my Argo Navis), I then plugged a Shoestring EQDIR module into that and then a Shoestring EQCBL-01 cable from that to the RJ 45 input on my mount.
This didn't work with either mount.
I then tried connecting via the handset and it worked using the cable that came with the mount plugged into the Keyspan USB to Serial adapter.
So 2 possibilities:
1) Either the EQDIR or the EQCBL-01 part is faulty, and my money is on the EQDIR as it was second hand and the other part is brand new, or
2) I have connected it up incorrectly. Most likely is that the EQDIR part is not needed, but by my reading of the Shoestring site it is.
