ProcommPlus, Xterm, Sterm and a bunch of other freeware terminal programs for DOS, Windows and my old TRS-80 also did that nicely. Useful to upload to BBSs if you didn't have one of the

I have an old Win98 laptop downstairs. I haven't used it in years. Never had putty on it, and now I only have the standard Windows Terminal that came with it. Unfortunate, because there was a time

I might also point out that:
Smaller capacity drives are *generally* more reliable than larger due to

Re: Cloud computing (was Re: [Snorkack] Help with finding a Fic
Ah, I misunderstood then. Re-reading, you originally stated that serial
ports were on most motherboards, including most modern ones, even if hidden

No, it was my modem that fried, the computer's fine (it's now a server).
I guess I should have been more clear. I do have a USB to serial cable
that works with both; I just prefer to use a dedicated

With RAID it pays to get the NAS rated disk (my synology has a list of

Re: Cloud computing (was Re: [Snorkack] Help with finding a Fic
Yeah, most internal and USB modems nowadays are soft-modems, where most of
the hard work is done by the driver (aka Windows modems). These would be

Then perhaps definitively stating that PuTTY doesn't support serial

Like I said, I hadn't updated the one on 98SE/XP in a long time.

If your budget is low, second hand server systems can be had cheaply that
will handle
RAID arrays well. You can turn them into NAS systems just by setting up the
