Re: [PLUG] IBM laptop and serial port troubles

[Daniel G Roberts <daniel.roberts@bms.com>]

Actually..this isn't a winmodem..it is an ISDN modem that works jsut fine hooked up to
my other linux system..

And I am sorry I can't take up offers to bring the laptop to the meeting..eventhough I
wish I could..

I appreciate all suggestions though!!
