- Thanks for the info. Do you know if the Microcom Deskporte will work properly under Win NT?
- I've heard horror stories of folks trying to use multimedia and comm software/hardware under NT.
- I'm about to upgrade my sytem to NT/Win 95 dual boot. Specificlly, I'm concerned with the
- parallel port driver. I hear that NT gets irritated when you try to access hardware directly.
- My hope is that Microcom's driver can deal with this.
