Hi, John That was a stock 0setserial, just with the change to irq3 as I mentioned before. When I updated packages from slink, setserial (_2.14-3) was one that I upgraded to. So I reverted to the hamm setserial (_2.12-6) and now the change to irq3 stays permanent. I didn't upgrade the kernel, I'm still running Linux version 2.0.34, so maybe they're not compatable? Anyway, I think I'll leave hamm unmolested for now, since I'm actually satisfied with it and play with slink which has it's own set of problems. Thanks for your help John
