I haven't had a chance to check it out yet, but PuTTY is such a great program otherwise, I find it hard to believe that they'd screw this up too badly. _________________________ Bitt Faulk

Cool. It might be enough to make me drop Teraterm. Not that I use it a great deal these days, though. _________________________ -- roger

That does imply that you won't have to edit some .ini file in order to access that USB-serial adapter that decided to install itself as COM8. Also, the fact that it doesn't look like a reject from Win3.0 helps. _________________________ Bitt Faulk
