None. Notebooks, especially older notebooks, are strange indeed
and there is no general advice which seems to apply to more than one at
a time. Undoubtedly some part of the machine is monitoring the serial port,
or even being presumptious enough to turn off the modem whenever the primary
Command.com is in charge again. There isn't anything we can do about that, alas.
