Plug a PCMCIA serial port card into the laptop... IMPORTANT - make sure that the seller states that it works under DOS before you buy, and make sure that you can return it if it does not. Here's a second hand one from Amazon: <http://www.amazon.com/o/redirect?tag=amd-google-20&path=tg/detail/-/B0000AZK2X/ref=pd_sl_aw_alx-jeb-9-1_ce_4713688_1> Or if you want one that is new.... <http://www.synchrotech.com/products/serial.html> Another is at <http://www.teampctechnology.com> and look for the model number "TS-C-COM232" These guys occasionally have them used, and when they do they are _really_ cheap. Go to <http://www.pcliquidators.com> and plug "pcmcia" into the search box. But there is no warranty and no return. I use these guys all the time for SCSI cables. Mike WA6ILQ Yahoo!
