Nasty BIOS bugs in the past have set the speed to a rare 28800 (from memory) when you try to change it. As not many comm programs can do 28800 this can be hard to recover from. If you want a good Windows terminal program that does SSH and serial comms, try PuTTY which you can get from: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ Matthew Thyer
