[QUOTE="BGonaSTICK, post: 58971, member: 176912"] Don't like to be the bearer of bad news, but I think you've just answered your own question... no COM port, no work. :( I've just checked on my XP Pro, and there seems to be no way to re-allocate the parallel port as a serial port. I take it that you have no COM port devices detected in Device Manager? I also seem to remember that people have had the same problem with a USB to serial converter. I'm sure that a driver could be written for Windows to do this, but have never heard of one. Can only suggest that you try searching for such a piece of software. STICK [/QUOTE]
