I have the same problem. I purchased a Compaq Presario (Pretty-Sorry-O, as pronounced by another engineer). It has no serial port. I paid $1399 for it at Costco. Today they told me to bring it back and they'll refund my money. I ordered a Toshiba (with a serial port, 1GHz vs. 850MHz, more RAM, etc.) from the Costco web site for the same price. What's nice is if that machine doesn't work out for me, I can take it back to Costco here in Plano and they will refund my money.
Gotta love great customer service. Ken >>> "Rick" 10/25/01 08:07PM >>> well I got a new laptop in at work today and they order it without a 9 pin serial port. I did however find a USB to serial cable but it does not seem to be working very good. Anyone else tackled this problem? what choices do I have except keeping the old laptop.
