Now when I boot freebsd it says sio01, not found, etc. I deleted all of windows from the thing though, so that window program to turn on/off the serial port is no longer. anyone have ideas? I'm considering swapping out my hd and swapping in a windows hd, turning on the port, and then swapping back my hd again. another optipn if possible is if there is dos program that turns on/off the serial port, I can boot to dos from a floppy and then running that program. -- Sameer Parekh Voice: 510-986-8770 C2Net FAX: 510-986-8777 The Internet Privacy Provider http://www.c2.net/ sameer@c2.net
