Hello! I realized after I sent that one off to the list, that I did not bother to explain which site this is that presents the easier methods of how to install those serial connections. Here is the site: http://www.rwhitby.net/projects/wrt54gs He explains in much better detail as to the methods behind and everything else, but of course not why those ports are there. ----- Gregg C Levine [email protected] "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculously easy VDI.
