Dear larry,
PonyProg2000 uses rs232 port not for standard data transfer, but only for send/receive "signals" to the serial device input/output pins in a time sequence defined according to the device datasheet. See attached picture with an example of "read sequence" of the eeprom 25LC640. If you send logical levels to pins CS, SCK and SI in defined time sequence as shown on the picture you get response from device on the SO pin containing data read from any valid address of the eeprom. It is a special communication protocol. Therefore is no need to set the baudrate, parity and so on.
It is possible to change a bus speed for the supported device bus types in the file PonyProg2000.ini which is located in the PonyProg2000 directory. But in most cases this is not needed and it has nothing to do with testing interface within probe command from the interface setup dialog.
I found some Atmel Evaluationsboard schematic, see link below, and I see that the board has two rs232 connectors, so you should use connector marked rs232-isp. It's wiring is identical to the SI-prog Base board.

Are you using the recent version of PonyProg2000 2.08c?
PonyProg2000 download page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ponyprog/
What is the result of the probe test if you set SI prog API instead of SI prog I/O?
Yours sincerely
