Joe: It does work. It's not the easiest program to understand, but it does work. I'd suggest the you carefully check the documentation again, because the command structure is VERY syntactically specific. I tried it out on my Amiga 2000 through my 2232 board (yes Virginia, it does support multiple serial port units). I personally didn't care for the human interface of the program so I never delved very deeply into the workings of it, though it certainly seems to have everything you'd need. You might try a few of the simplest commands first right from the CLI and see if you can get it working that way. Be aware that the CP290 is a pretty slow device (I think 600 baud) so commands take a bit of time to transmit over. -regards, greg regards, greg
