Guess you have to get your computer fixed. > WRONG!! Both ports are hardware identical. It's just that the firmware has been configured to operate #1 as a printer port and #2 as a modem port. Since I don't use the firmware for serial operations on the //c (but will on the GS in the future), it doesn't matter what port you use. BTW- there was a bug in Z-Link with regard to using any slot other than #2. This was very recently pointed out to me and I've fixed it. The repost will go out Friday night sometime. >+------------------------------------------------------------------+ >| Michael J Pender Jr snail mail: Box 1942 c/o W.P.I. | >| Bitnet: greyelf@wpi.bitnet 100 Institute Rd. | >| Internet: greyelf@wpi.wpi.edu Worcester, Ma 01609 | >| User #20 at H.U.G.E.
