Please?!? Without tying up the phone? I got another unix-pc this week and like everyone else, I'm wishing that it came with at least 2 serial ports. No, I am not forking over $500 for another (unpopulated) combo card. So how do I make these 2 systems talk to each other through the OBM without actually using the telephone lines? While on the subject, what is the straight dope on 'direct' connections? Any earth shattering recommendations? thanks...
