Is PICmicro 2840 Development board compatible w/ Mach X ISD?

I've got a PICmicro 2840 prototyping board that has an RJ-11 connector that looks like it has the same pinout as the CCS Mach X ISD.

Has anyone used this connector for ISP/ISD?

If it is wired like this,... page 20

Then its an ICD port and can be used for programming and debugging.

It looks to me that it's wired exactly like that. Here's a data sheet, with pinouts of the connector, for the programmer to be used with that board, an ISP-PRO Programmer.

They both look identical to me. However when I hook up the Mach X to try to program or debug a 16F877 the Mach X doesn't see the uC. When I put the uC onto the Mach X Ziff socket it programs as expected.

Can anybody offer any insight into whats going on here? HVW has these boards on sale for $47.96...it would be nice if they could be hooked up to the Mach X directly.

Thanks....Harry
