I must have misexpresed myself. Sorry about that. The Macs do have a serial
port but the connector is not an RS232. I do not know what they are called
but they are cylindrical in shape, like the mouse connectors on PCs and
they have got 8 pins in them. One of them gives the DTR.

Good to know. Thanks for the info.
