Well, on a computer without any real serial ports, there's several potential ways to add them: On a laptop, you have adaptors that connect via the USB ports, or the PCMCIA card slot, or express card slots. On a desktop box, the obvious routes are serial port cards plugged into PCI or ISA slots (ISA on very old PCs). -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
