I want to connect an X-10 home controller to my amiga. The controller talks to a serial port. That should be a transparent background task. When I am talking to another computer using the ONLY serial port, it would not be acceptable for the X10 task to either interrupt my session or to be interrupted by it. One serial port is not adequate. Charles Brown charles%hpcvca@hplabs.hp.com
