Whyd did you put this in the PC forum and not the DOSBox forum?

That will probably not work. You should try using a computer with a real serial port first.

Either get a new computer, or get a PCI card with a serial port, like http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdet … 230881379347400 . (There are probably cheaper ones out there somewhere.)

There is still no guarantee that it will work, however. DOSBox is intended for games and not for serial terminals.
