Hmmm....  Don't let the "only requires" part fool you.  Daisy chaining through 
serial ports might be easy to hook up physically, but it's hard to keep going.  
VERY rfi prone and an extremely intermittent PITA, not to mention a "waste" of 
a valuable serial port (rigs, rotors, packet....). 

Don't believe me?  Just take a look at those youngster field day faces when you 
tell them you're going to be setting up a DOS serial netork!!!  Load those 
TSR's and write those .bat files kiddies...  make sure you have plenty of boot 
floppies (yuk).  

Windows networking is a million times more rugged, and Mr. Gates has made it 
easier than ever too.

As usual, I ask; why spend 3K bucks on a cutting edge MKV and run it with 
1980's software???
