Therefore, motherboards > lacking a serial port are already here and coming down the pike quickly I applied for a programming job with the Condor team. They are in the CS department at UW Madison. Amazing how small the world really is! No, I didn't get the job. Better luck next time, I suppose. Anyway, the serial port discussion seems to be perennial. I know that the topic has made several appearances during the last three years or so. Regardless of the status of the standard RS-232 port, I think we can all agree that Speakup should move forward to support the various sorts of hardware in use on today's PCs, including USB-to-serial adapters, PCI-based serial cards, USB synthesizers, et cetera. If we can all agree on that point, then there's no need for argument. Peace, -- Chris
