I don't even have a serial port on my laptop. They've been fazed out, so
anyone with a relatively new computer wouldn't even have a serial port. They
have PCMCIA cards that can give more ports, but my wireless card uses that
slot. They have USB adapters, too, but FS says they can only guarantee the
PCMCIA cards will work. They don't say the USB adapters won't work, but they
don't guarantee that they will, either. Take care.

It is better to be on the ground wishing you were flying, than vice versa.

I use Hyperterminal, found in Windows XP, and just connect my Braille Lite
to a cable with one of those BIN connectors and then to what I think is my
serial port of my computer. I don't have a floppy drive for the Braille
Lite. This method works fine for me.
