Hmmm, can't help you with that as I never used Keyspan. Can't you use
AppleTalk over Ethernet like the majority of other users? Much faster than
serial and the connection can be share by more than one OS and more than one
application. At the price that PCMCIA cards go these days, I can't
understand why someone would go through the pain of setting up a serial
connection, specially when the computer doesn't have a built-in serial
connection...
