The 720 has two internal buffered serial ports. Between the power of the 720, and the 32(?) byte FIFO on the chip, there shouldn't be any overruns. >You'll want a 4 port mux... of which only one port can be >used with a modem. Argh. I was the midwife for the 98638A, an 8-port modem MUX for the 300/400. It takes up one wide (CPU-sized) slot. Perry Scott HP Ft Collins
