You're probably right on the dot! Now how do I produce a work-around for this hick-up? Should I have the serial driver ignore software-flow control? Doesn't sound like an elegant solution to me... But then again, my program isn't elegant either... ;) . . . ., . Paul Molenaar "Just checking the walls" - Basil Fawlty - -- Paul Molenaar "Just checking the walls" - Basil Fawlty -
