I am trying to open the device driver of the printer serial port. The actual
call is OpenDriver("\p.BOut", &refNum). The call to this routine returns
error -98 (portNotConfig? it's an AppleTalk error!). If I open the serial
communication port the same way, there are no problems. What's wrong?
Thanks,

Well, it sounds to me like you've got Chooser telling your Mac that Appletalk is active. Go to Chooser, deactivate Appletalk, and if the problem persists, scream. --
