It's in one of the files in there [I would do this, but am in DOS now, cuz I'm writing papers, and don't have an X wordprocessor ;>]. Since I just looked there a caouple of days ago, I do believe SIMPLEX means "interface can't hear it's own transmits" or soemthing close... I don't think that this is the problem in this case, but I'll let Dave Greenman handle that, since it's his driver ;> >..Sal --rafal PS: Dave G: IF you read this, please drop me a line... I can't find your Email address around and wanted to ask a few Q's.... Thanks.
