Internal or external?  If external, is using a null-modem cable to connect 
laptop to desktop an option - that should run at 115,200 baud.  I prolly 
have such a cable around here somewhere - you can have it if you can use it 
and I can find it.  Can you get the system workable with one of those 
router on a diskette distros?
