It's really weird... :-( You know, that's interesting, because I haven't been able to get the serial ports on my ASUS P55TP4N to do *anything* useful. And, this is under Windows NT and Windows 95. I just haven't spent too much time worrying about it. For a while I had my Hayes ESP card installed in that machine, and it worked fine. But, taking it back out and attempting to use the built-in ports again results in the same non-functional serial ports. It's possible they used a weird chip that just doesn't work right? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael L.
