I have so far only managed to get a "cannot initialize board" error. For better or worse, the SLIP packet driver requires hardware handshaking. You can lie to it and pretend that you *are* doing hardware handshaking by tying RTS and CTS together (that's pins 4 and 5 on a DB-25). Please try this change and tell me if that solves your problem or not. -- --russ (nelson@clutx [.bitnet | .clarkson.edu]) Russ.Nelson@$315.268.6667 Violence never solves problems, it just changes them into more subtle problems
