"A computer" isn't necessarily a DTE, not even in the PC world you refer to (I guess). I've checked all dumb and intelligent cards that I have access to: - "dumb" serial PC card is DTE (but in most cases nowadays changable to DCE by jumpers) - ACE is wired as DCE - Chase AT4 is wired as DCE - Specialix 8 port is wired as DCE By the way: my modem is wired as DTE (bad world, isn't it ? :-) Lothar -- ----------------------------------------------- L.
