OK, what DG laptop is it????  Is it a Model 2, Model 2T or Model 1????
I'm moderately intimate with it.  If you can describe it, I can get the info 
to you.  
  Let's see.  The model 1 uses a big green battery pack.  The model 2 has an
internal battery pack (LCD display), or external power supply (EL display)
and the 2T uses flat battery packs that are replaceable by removing a lid
in front of the display.
  The model 1 uses a CMOS 8251.  The CMOS 8250s weren't out yet.  I
can send you a copy of Crosstalk that will work with it.  There is a port of
the ka9q TCP suite that is workable.  The model 2/2T has an 8250.  The trick is
that you have to turn the power on.  Do you have the MS-DOS that comes with
it?  The mode command does it.
Cheers, Kurt

My email posting bounced, so could you send me email to continue this?
