that is possible, I linked your thread in his, hopefully he checks this out
Since this is a 3.1 upgrade issue, perhaps you should report it in the 3.1 release discussion thread I’ve seen what seems like a lot of folks having serial related problems. I believe the implementation of serial changed awhile back and I suspect there may be a few buggies that still need shaken out
edit: you are using 3.1 release version correct?
