Er, No.   The only lap top I've tried is a Win3.11 386SX, and it worked
fine.

What OS/hardware combo are you using ?

Have you tried straight DOS ?

Also, perhaps try using COM4.  Oddly one of the guys here mentioned that
another serial device on a PC wouldn't work as COM1 ... but did as COM4
... and COM4 was physically wired to the same port.

PC's ...
