Hey Bob -

I just tried that app both with COM1 (serial port) and COM2 (USB/Serial adapter), and couldn't see any way to make it connect with my 48sx. The built-in help is sparse, and doesn't mention anything about connecting to systems other than the specified 40gs/39g/39g+. I couldn't see anything relevant to connecting with other systems.

Would you be able to provide a brief overview of the steps you take to establish a connection? I'm not seeing any menu items or controls that would initiate communication, and the panes in the main window simply show the PC's local file system hierarchy.

Thanks, Bob. I actually updated my original post, probably as you were typing up your response. Yes, I was able to change the assigned port of my USB/Serial adapter to COM2 successfully. HPComm worked with it in the same fashion as the docking station's serial port.
