Anybody knows a good adapter which works > with our uplcom(4) driver? I'd be interested in that topic, too. I have the DEC vt101 which still works (tested with _real_ serial port), but as serial ports are vanishing on desktops, and are being nonexistent on laptops, this would be a nice recipe to have in order to bring a piece of museum art back to life. Furthermore, I'd be interested if this approach will only work for communication devices (serial terminal lines), or if it can also be used for pointing devices (serial mice, maybe even digitizer tablets). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
