Unless you have some NEW verion of Janus software that the rest of us don't
yet have access to, and you are including it with this sale, the A2286 BB
does NOT support the serial port.  It should, pc-task, IBeM, the Power PC
board and the ATonce emualtors ALL support the serial port, and DO work with
all major telecommunications software packages out there for MS-DOS.

We have been told time and again by CBM that they can't support the serial
port via the BB's due to the all the bios calls that most ms-dos software
makes call to, however I have found that in 99% of the cases, this software
is very configurable, and irq's com and other bios level addressing can be
configured from within the software.  This, along with the fact that all the
other PC emulators out there DO manage this task and do it well, I see no
reason that the next version of Janus software should not include support
for the serial port when running the Bridgeboard and Janus.
