Recently I've been trying to get LAN Manager 2.0 to work with an APC 600 UPS.
I finally got support to tell me that my Northgate's internal COM: ports are
screwy and I need to buy a serial port card.

He also mentioned Dell computers have this problem.  I suggest that you call
MS before trying to use a UPS with an internal (motherboard) COM: port.

While I'm buying a COM: port, I'd like to get a couple that would work under
OS/2.  Now I have none left after the mouse and UPS.  Any suggestions?
