   I kind that of know the feeling.  Both of the two Dell desktop PCs currently   
   used here don't have any COM ports!  You do realize how frustrating that is   
   for a Fidonet sysop, don't you?  Sort of like an Irishman in a room full of   
   shovels being told to 'take his pick'.  ;)

   Ah, yes.  It is similar here.  Only my old P90 (old Fido PC), that's been   
   gathering dust over the last four years, has a HDD (3.5" I think).  Most, if   
   any, disk transfers are done with a USB stick now. Fortunately all of the old   
   machines (and new) are now VirtualBox versions of their old hardware selves,   
   and are networked through the Dells.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
