I'ms confused by this statement.  What physical connector does your
"serial port" use to get the serial data to the Mac?  I only have one 
3-year old Mac laptop to look at, and I just don't see anything that I
would call a serial port.

No problem.  I was short earlier because I wanted to spend time helping
someone out, not pulling clues out.  If I have an hour to answer some
questions, I'd rather read something that let's me hep out.  I figured
you might get a good answer if you asked something with full context,
and there were _way_ too many variables to get you an answer from what
you started with.
