Yes. The advanced settings have nothing to do with the RS-232 control signals, unfortunately. And there is no replacement serial driver. Googling various combinations of key words turns up nothing related to this bug. Apparently this Dell RS-232 design error is so arcane relative to what virtually all laptop users use their computers for, that nobody has ever complained about it. :-) My last step is to go into the BIOS and see if there are any controls in there that live below the level of the OS. Oh well.
