I bought an excellent 4-port serial card from Taniwha systems so that I could run my bulletin board on a Mac IIfx and still have more serial ports to play with. My (naive) assumption was that I could put the Imagewriter printer, MacRecorder MacVision, Localtalk, MIDI and anything else I wanted on this card. Well I can...but the Chooser doesn't know about the card - because it is not aware of the Communications Toolbox? And Farallon tells me that it is impossible to have the MacRecorder software be aware of any other port. This I frankly disbelieve, but the telephone contact was not a programmer. He claimed that the Communications Toolbox was so buggy they did not want to use it! Farallon is one thing, but Apple is different. I do not see why the Chooser is not aware that there might be other things available besides Modem and Printer outputs. Why does it not knwo about the things that the Communications Toolbox knows about? I am running system 7.0b4 in case anyone cares. -- Terry Monks Automata Design Inc (703) 472-9400
