Serial Port Monitor does indeed maintain control of the selected serial port whether you are syncing or not. It does this so that it can sense when you press the hot sync button. There is a control strip called "HotSyncCSM" that lets you turn it off and on. You can also do this from the HotSync application. If you can't find HotSyncCSM drop me a note and I can e-mail it to you. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
