 G'Day Arthur,

 AS>      Anyone know if you can buy a serial switching box or something.

You need a data transfer switch.  I was useing one when I still had the
clone and kept the box and cables when I dumped the clone.

It's a box with an A/B switch on the front and three ports on the back.
Seriasl cables from two of the ports to the respective computer seial ports
and the one marked I/O from the modem to the box.

Worked a treat when I was running it, a simple flick of the switch and I
was on the other compter with the same modem. :-)

Bought it from Direct Access Computer Products Pty Ltd
               256 darby Street
               Newcastle
               Fax: (049) 26-2144
             Voice: (049) 26-4122

I can't remember how much it cost with the two serial cables.
