Fantastic Tim! Thanks for that - I will give it a shot and see how that works out. Will let you know.

You see the location of the configuration file when DOSBox starts. There are pretty plain comments in there as to how to set it up. Going from memory it was something like this: serial1 = directconnect realport:com1 -- Tim :wq On Aug 9, 2010, at 10:28 AM, La Rue Communications wrote: Actually this is on topic. Tim - can you relay to me, how your friend has his serial port set up to work with his DOSBox? My efforts were in vain. I think perhaps my XP Machine is too fast and modern? Only a theory.

It works great for programming those radios that need old, slow PCs for the software. I use it on my MacBook dual booting into Windows 7 and using an IO Gear USB serial dongle on COM1. So far I've programmed a couple of Radius M1225's and a VXR-5000. A friend of mine has similar results with Windows XP on a 800Mhz PC with a real serial port. -- Tim
