  Only #1 is a problem.  (See below)

  The BridgeBoard (XT/AT) requires its own serial port. (Simple eh?)
  I use a half/card with 2 RS-232 and 1 Printer port. Since im running
  Xenix on the BridgeBoard using CBM's LPT1 program was no help to me.
  Besides for around $50 I got the card w/1 of each port and another $15
  got me the 2nd serial port. This is the best solution there is in terms
  of cost and compatibality. Now I can "CU" when needed or run "LapLink"
  (under MS-DOS) if transfer <-> my laptop is needed ;-)

  Nahh, I tried linking them but I keep getting the message,

  Unresolved external error :-)
