even though it's officially a serial connection... the assumtion is talking about RS232 specs: http://www.google.com/search?q=rs232 I think we're all aware a virus can most certainly traverse through a USB connection.)
hm, i fail to see the point here. isn't a serial connection to the outside world "just another link"? who cares, if it is a serial connection or ethernet? maybe i am biased with SLIP under linux - Serial Line IP, so the serial device really gets an ip-address and then it's tcp/ip all the way and no application/virus would care if this is "serial link". or is all data just sent to "com1"?
thanks, Christian. -- BOFH excuse #310:
