i wouldn't say that... one can still get OS/2 ;)  and there's also the *nix
stuff but for many, that's a bit harsher world than the had with DOS although
there are a lot more features and capabilities that the m$ world is still
trying to catch up with...

TJM> I use NetSerial  (www.pcmicro.com) which emulates com ports for
TJM> Windows.  Works just as well as SIO did IMO.

great! i don't suppose you have anything written up on yuor setup and how you
have FD interfacing with netserial?? it would be a big help for others... i
could even add it to the FAQ section in my support forum...
