[G4] Thanks for your response re: serial port

[Ernest Vincent Pons-Worley]

Thanks for the info Steve.  I did check that the PCI card was Mac- 
compatible before I bought it.  The system profiler sees it.  I'm  
just trying to figure out how to access it from the command line.   
The Stealth Serial Port is interesting, but I wanted a 9-pin  
connector.  I'm sure this works, I just need to figure out how what  
the equivalent of "com1" is on Darwin.

Best,
Ernest
