I have been asked by my boss to gather information on RS-232 async. port usage on various computer systems. Since the net is a collection of "various" systems I thought I would start here! If you can spare some time to fill in the information below, I would be in your debt. E-mail the info to: ..!rutgers!rochester!cci632!walden!jjg many thanks in advance, John Grana jjg@walden.UUCP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Machine: OS: Total Number of Async.

At Rutgers you rarely find machines with any serial ports. All our terminal, modem, and serial printer traffic is handled almost exclusively by terminal servers (cisco mostly). Machine to machine communication is handled via Ethernet. -Ron
