I guess I wasn't so clear when I suggested curl on a Terminal session as a way to go. It's when you use Finder's GO_Connect to (ftp) server that you can't do it. You can drag and drop downloaded files but the other way is a no-no. At 14:51 -0500 11/10/11, Bob C. wrote: >Does Lion on any current-era Mac support serial communications? That is, by >using a USB-to-Serial dongle? Is serial support built into the latest OS? No OS 10 systems support support serial comm over what were called RS-232 or RS-422 wiring. USB dongles apparently work but I'm not sure how one addresses them in the system. I once promised, but haven't done it. Sigh I think modern Apples still have telephone modem capability for the likes of sending FAXes. It should be possible to communicate with old macs using that modem to talk to an old Hayes or Global Village modem plugged into the RS-422 serial port of a low end Mac. One would need basic modem software for the Mac but that's still around somewhere. -- --> From the U S of A, the only socialist country that refuses to admit it. <-- -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
