If your documentation (ie the serial line setup stuff) wasn't a year out of date.... I wouldnt have to ask questions at all. I only insult as a result of insults. You get more of your share 'cause you're a rude guy who has yet to gain my respect by saying anything worthwhile. >Again, it's a two way street Dennis, but somehow that doesn't fit into >your model, which seems to be 'I get what I want, and when I don't I >throw a fit until someone gives me what I want.' Quit your job and work on it full time Nate...then you can talk. Otherwise you have no perspective. I don't demand anything...I just asked if something worked or not and whether I should use something else. Sorry that you took it as an insult. The question had nothing to do with YOU, so your comments here were uncalled for....you're the one throwing a fit. db PS: Thanks to all of you who've sent me supportive messages for my "contributions". Sorry about all of the babies on the list. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Emerging Technologies, Inc. http://www.etinc.com Synchronous Communications Cards and Routers For Discriminating Tastes. 56k to T1 and beyond.
