Yes, it's called ROMWack. It seems the serial port must be INITed before it can be invoked properly tho. I have an Esprit 6110+ which I bought for $20... I have tried using it with AUX:, but it seems to mess up linefeeds and stuff... I use a null-modem cable and 9600bpd communication rates. -- ========================================================================== Chris Cebelenski UUCP: portal.com!gdc!aminet!czaeap!cpc The Red Mage Internet: czaeap!cpc@aminet.gdc.portal.com GEnie: C.CEBELENSKI // "Amiga - The way REAL people compute" "Better dead than mellow" \X/ ========================================================================== NOTE: Due to brain dead mailers, this message can *NOT* be REPLIED to, to reach me you MUST send a NEW message.
