Sounds like a good idea, I didn't realise that RS-232 merging devices existed. Which brand/type are you using?
Thomas:
The device I am using was designed to switch between the serial connection for two printers and, as I understand things, is 7+ years old.
It was supplied to me by a friend who works with PC who gave it to me after I explained my problem to him and asked whether such a device existed...in any event, it was/is manufactured by Kingston.
