well..here's another "feature" of the newer MacPPC systems: no serial port. Actually, in at least some (most?) the hardware exists inside the machine, intended for a (special) modem, but doesn't have the line drivers needed for real RS232. However, for a lot more than the $3 it would have cost Apple to put the serial port on the back of the machine, you CAN buy a doo-hickey which provides line drivers and a connection to the outside world. Baring that, however...no serial. Nick.
