No modem, I always used a pcmcia card for that.
That's the thing it's so old that I am not sure what was done. I haven't used it in years
I am testing a diagnostic device for 993s that communicates betwen the car and laptop thru com1.
The device has been tested by 2 previous users but on mine there appears to be no communication. All the appropriate lights come on but no response.
hence my interest in the serial port.
