	Does anyone have experience with fried serial ports on a mac II?  
A mac owner in the dorm had both serial ports fail recently, while logged
onto a remote mainframe via versaterm.  No printer or modem software will
work, and so I surmise that the serial ports are dusted.  Is this like the
abd-fuse problem?  Nothing was being plugged or unplugged at the time of
failure, and I can't see nay reason to call it an operator error.
	The local Apple mechanics want to replace the whole motherboard,
but that seems a bit extreme.  Anyone know a simpler fix?
						Thanks,
						tad.
