Redirect LPT to COM?
Hi everybody, i got an acer travelmate 800 notebook and for some reason it doesn't have a serial com interface but only a parallel lpt interface, i would need the com to synchronize my nokia communicator with outlook, so is there any possibility to redirect the lpt port to a (maybe virtual) com? your help is really appreciated, thanks

I think Acer offer a port replicator for this model, which gives a serial port.
and which Nokia is it? It may have different comms options?

Presumably it's got USB port(s). I overcame a similar situation by using a Belkin USB --> serial convertor.
