	Due to it's limited usefulness, we (Checkpoint Technologies)
decided not to include an AUX:-style handler with the Serial Solution
board, but we do supply a utility which can make one. The ZapPort
utility on the driver disk automatically patches executable programs to
use our serial driver.  This works just fine on aux-handler as well, so
you can make a duplcicate for the Serial Solution card.
