I would greatly appreciate advice. I have an Olympus C1400 digital camera
that downloads images by serial cable to either printer or monitor port. I
very much want to be able to use my two ports for two printers and a modem
as well, without having to unplug and replug at the back.

I have a two way switch box, which works well with the two printers and/or
the modem, but the camera download will not work when the cable is plugged
in to the box. It is fine when plugged in to either port directly, but the
software cannot find the camera when plugged in through the switch box,
which is connected to the computer by a null modem cable.

Why won't it work? and is there any solution to avoid plugging in direct?

Setup is a G3 266 desktop, OS 8.1.

Any bright ideas will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
