So from the DOS command line I guess you would have to both set the port with the mode command and then copy the file. Not sure in Linux, other hosts have ways of setting the baud rate, etc... And then sending out the data. --- James. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
