- No _both_ ports... I was sending data bi-directionally (full duplex).

- Okay, fair enough. I rounded up two Compaq LTE Elite 4/75CX notebooks, two
- copies of Procomm Plus for DOS, and a null modem cable. Hooked everything
- up, booted to plain DOS 6.20, set the DTE rate to 115200 at each end, and
- started transferring files. Guess what? It worked perfectly, every time,
- both directions, _zero_ errors reported. I sent app. 10MB of data between
- the machines without a hitch.
-
- Now Doug, I don't know why it didn't work for you - maybe your comm
- software was at fault, maybe you didn't tie a chicken head to the cable and
- use the right number of candles, who knows? <g>
-
- All I know is that it worked for me.
