Hi. I have an application that has to look at over 10 serial ports for data. Not all of them are active at once so I thought why not use 1 port and have the rest muxed and just cycle through them until one is active. It could also be interrupt driven to avoid the need for polling inputs - the main thing is I don't want to have to build 10 serial ports and kludge them into a PC (I would rather do the programming in a high level language that understands COM1:) Anyone have any ideas for a serial port mux (I don't really need DTR, etc.. just the transmit and receive). Thanks in advance /Leonard
