Some laptops can take plug-in cards that offer Ethernet or RS-232C: U.S. Robotics/Dell Model XJ4338 is a 33.6 baud modem. Dell Ethernet Card 10BASE-T/100Base-2 D-Link DFE-670TXD 10/100 Base-T I've not used them myself; my laptop came equipped with Ethernet and RS232-C. If I ever buy another laptop, I will be sure that it has both Ethernet and RS232-C interfaces. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
