I just received my A3000, with an A2232 7 port serial card (yeah!), and I'm
having trouble getting it to print to a serial printer.  The printer is in the
Amiga 3000 serial port, and I have a modem in the first A2232 DIN connector.
Whenever I attempt to write to the printer, it fails.  I know that it isn't a
problem with the connector, because when I run JRCOMM, I can use the serial
device unit 1, and output shows up on the printer.

I suspect it may be a problem with the A2232 software.  It appears to have a
1.3 style preferences, and I am running 2.0.  Also, it seems to me that the
printer preferences should support a serial device unit number.  Is there an
AmigaOS 2.0 version of the A2232 software?
