"Robin Has suggested I test the serial port" Thanks Robin I think a quick look up in the attic for a "steam" modem is in order. If I can get it to make a noise the serial port is OK. Or. What I used to do was short out two wires on the end of the cable connected to the serial port (1 and 2??) and then type "something" (cant remember what) at the consol. If is echoed back it was working. Can any one remind this chronologically disadvantaged person what to do!
