I have a big question, although it may be small to some of you.
How do I access the serial port with software???  Specifically how do I
read raw data from the port?   How do I set data and stop bits?

I have an IBM-PC clone and want to transfer data from my PC to my NeXTcube
and I'm not having any luck doing so.

I need to get The Formatter to my cube to format a drive.  I can get the
file from the mainframe that I'm on, but I have no way of getting it to
my cube besides the serial port.

Also does anyone know the correct way to connect the NeXTcube ('030) to a
PC via the serial port.


I need help very bad.

            Thank you, Kent
