Keywords: macportable, serial port, internal modem Message-ID: <26969@cs.yale.edu> Date: 30 Oct 90 15:29:51 GMT Sender: news@cs.yale.edu Organization: Yale University Computer Science Dept., New Haven, CT 06520-2158 Lines: 10 Nntp-Posting-Host: poe.systemsy.cs.yale.edu Originator: cianca@poe.CS.Yale.Edu I have a macportable with an internal modem. I would like to use the 8-pin serial port for a direct connection to my Sun. Hovever, that port seems to be automatically disabled when an internal modem is on board. Is there anyway of enabling that port keeping the modem in its place? Thank you for any suggestion Paolo Ciancarini
