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.
