Now with that being said and done, can >anybody help me out here?? I found a binary application which runs natively on FreeBSD, SCO, Linux and a couple of others which can read (and INTERACT) with a serial port: "SCom" QTek, http://www.sensorsoft.com not only do they sell this extremely functional serial communication program, they also sell temperature sensors, humidity sensors, remote power on/off switches which can all be read using SCom, and which can also be read remotely over the net (if you set up SCom in inetd.conf) I didn't read your application for which you need DOS, but perhaps you can do the whole solution using FreeBSD? -- Jim Pazarena mailto:paz@ccstores.com http://www.qcislands.net/paz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
