As Eko pointed out, and your experience seems to indicate, I may have some
faulty connection somewhere -- possibly the COM 25-pin connector from my
motherboard on the 486.
I'm using FAT16 on both computers with PC DOS 2000/7, and since that poses
no problem with my successful parallel connection, it must not be the
problem.

Even if I *did* have a successful serial connection, that faster parallel
connection would be hard to pass up... <g>
