Sorry, you are talking about serial channel2 on the NIC port???
I do only see channel0 and channel3 there.
channel 3 are TTL signals that could be used for yor project.
But the main problem I see here is the software bit - you need to
address
this channel in order to use it, of course it will not work
automatically.
As far as I know the serial channel2 (internal) is implemented into the
OS
such that you can use PCMCIA card modems (or other serial devices like
the
GPS cards).
The second serial port i meant in my last mail was the second one on
the interconnect port
(as on it are present only two serial lines, while the internal
connector give access to three of them)
You say that the serial channel 3 on the interconnect port will need to
be addressed via software [it will explain why i got no communications
from the MessagePad to my Mac....] but when i look at the Freedock, i
see a second serial port, for a modem use, which seems to be already
enabled without using any additional software.
What do you think about it?
Thanks again,
Adriano
