I don't really know what's going wrong with those BIOS serial I/O service functions. I seem don't have enough info about them because all the tech docs I have right here (RB Int List, Tech Help and Help PC plus some books) has pretty short descriptions so that I'm unable to figure out actual problem. Perhaps BIOS code is just faulty for those funcitons or they're not supported by some reason. > I use two computers a bit different, on is a 586 (166 MHz) and the other one > is a 486 (66MHz).

Serial I/O hardware supports particular baud rates independantly of computer itself and they always use standard signal scheme. Btw, almost the same program (SERIALCHAT) worked fine for me as a terminal program on connected 386sx16 and P266 computers. > thank you again for helping me. You're welcome. bye. Alexei A.
