Peter, Note that the driver is not really an updated driver, it is an alternate driver. On some systems one works better than the other. You might try the original driver on the Win 95 system. Other things to check: - Check your System in the Control Panel in Win95 to see that both COM ports are operating correctly. - Make sure that your BIOS sets up both COM ports. With only two COM ports, there shoudn't be much of a problem. With three COM ports, then it's difficult to get interrupts sorted out. Darrel Johansen
