This turned out to be a cable problem. I put a RS232 mini-tester (breakout box with lights) on it and saw CD was missing.

This is under both FreeBSD and Win95. FreeBSD sees two serial ports on my 70CT: sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa sio0: type 16550A sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa sio1: type 16550A I assume sio1 is the IrDA port. If I could find an inexpesive IrDA adapter for my PC it might be fun to what I could get to work. Louie <louie@sunra.csci.unt.edu>
