Another thing to look into if you have a PC without a serial port is whether the motherboard actually has a serial port header block on it.

If so, you can just buy a $5 adapter that goes from the motherboard to the back of the case. ----- Original Message ----- From: "josh" <jkenn337@xxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 11:30 PM Subject: Re: 4DOS > you could buy a serial card that you install in your computer which will > give you serial ports. >
