GU>      The base computer running OS/2 does have a 16550 UART.  The 
GU> hardware is fine on the base machine.  The NEC UltraLite however has a 
GU> 16450, which should not be affecting OS/2's interaction with LapLink in 
GU> a VDM.  It was a good idea but not applicable.
Greg, if you are running LapLink in OS/2, I can't recommend too strongly that 
you get a parallel cable. Before I managed to find time to get to a store 
that sold one, I had _enormous_ trouble with LL3 in OS/2. I never got it 
working reliably at more than 38400bps on a 486dx2/50. If you MUST use serial 
:
 * run in a fullscreen session
 * close all other background tasks 
 * set COM_DIRECT_ACCESS appropriately
 * set IDLE_SENSITIVITY to 100
 * set INT_DURING_IO to ON
 * be prepared for lockups, it will take a LONG time for the system to 
respond to keystrokes (even ^Esc and @Esc) so that you can switch away to 
kill the DOS window.
Parallel works fine without any of this tweakery.
