This issue of printer ports no longer working as cw interface ports has been reported on the Writelog reflector. The fix is a 3rd party driver that allows programs to utilize the printer port as they did in win9x.
As I only use com ports for my interfaces I never dloaded it or saved it. But you can find the location if you peruse the Writelog archives. As for what we are going to do in the future? I think it's in the manufacturers court to adapt their equipment to the new technology of USB or Firewire. Even new machines are now sold with only 1 serial port. ISA slots are almost impossible to find in any modern motherboard. Like the dinosaurs....adapt or die. ------------------------------------------------------------ Newspaper Headline: Typhoon Rips through Cemetery; Hundreds Dead ------------------------------------------------------------ Bill H. in Chicagoland [EMAIL PROTECTED]
