[plug] PC/MCIA serial?

[John Knight]

My dad's trying an experiment, he uses DOS for programming EPROMS or 
something liek that. He needs  a slow machine for it, and a Pentium or 
onwards just doesn't work, he needs a 486 or lower. What he's trying to do 
is use a serial port on a laptop, which now days he needs an adaptor or PC 
card for.

Because he wants to use DOS, the experiment he's doing is using FreeDOS 
under Linux (y'know, dos in a box), if all goes well, he'll become an 
everyday Linux user, because he'll use it for the net instead of Windows. 
Anyway, does anyone know if it'll work with no worries? The serial port I 
mean, will that respond with no hassles?

cheers fellers!
