Here is a problem I'd like to submit to all of you. I want to
attach two devices to my serial port ( a null modem and a modem). The
question is: How can I have these two attached at the same time without
adding a dual serial port card to my computer (which card would not fit
nicely in my A500 :). What kind of switch should I use? Or even better
is it possible for the Amiga to select by software which device to use?
Thanks in advance!

Buy an A-B switch that switches all 25 pins. My serial port drives two modems, dot-matrix and daisy-wheel printers. I picked up a no-name A-B-C-D switch at Fry's for $29.
