    Hi David Rance, hope you are having a nice day

    That too, but aren't there country specific versions too?
    I know I've seen reference to a french version, and ofc the
    one here is the us version.
    Yes, I've got a French version too but the differences are simply to do DR>with language prompts.

    Ah. Ofc w/ m$ you never know. ;>

    Hmm does bink see the comport w/o the modem attached? Does it
    see any comports for that matter?
    No.

    Ouch! Although that gives an idea of what to tinker on.
    It may be a case of '98 assigning the comports improperly.
    Unfortunately that's not something I can help a lot w/. :<

    It's like on my laptop w/ trying to get a com program to see
    the ir port which is com5. '98 says I have a nice high speed
    serial port on com5 but nothing, not even 'doze programs see it. :/

    I'm thinking it may be something to do w/ all the networking stuff
    that gets loaded.

    However since I last wrote I was persuaded to buy another, more expensive, DR>USB to serial convertor This one works like a dream and all my problems DR>have gone away! It's made by Belkin which I think is American. It can be DR>configured to work with Windows and optionally with DOS as well. I must DR>say I was sceptical about buying another one, but I'm glad I did. I can DR>now run Binkley for DOS and Telix for DOS! :-)

    I'm considering buying a USB-10/100 ethernet adapter for $39.95USD
    to use on the laptop. I'd like to find a USB-Joystick adapter as well
    but haven't seen one yet. (otoh i did see a usb-scsi adapter i thought
    was neat)

    Yours sincerely, Paul Williams <=-
