Had to fiddle around with a mini DIL switch though to select the right port without conflictions! If it does work I'll buy another for myself as it will make a good standby in case my broadband fails for whatever reason. It would save me raking out my trusty old serial job which is OK for the desktop box, but not for those newer laptops which no longer have either built in dial-up modems or a serial port. -- W.
