Hi Russ,
I took my 918 from the UK to the HPWorld show in Philadelphia.
Wrapped it in Bubble Wrap for the 'plane journey- no problems.
Used a laptop as a console to boot it up. The cable I used was a 'laplink'
type cable. 25 way and 9 way on each end.
Didn't use reflection, just plain old Hyperterm, set to com1, 19200 if
memory serves me correct.
No escape sequence support - but who cares.

It all worked like a dream .
If you need any more details please contact me

Pete
