I use a windows xp computer, with a standard 232 port. windows xp comes with communication software installed, it is called hyper terminal. just set up the communication settings in the program, and use a nine pin null modem cable with female on one end and male on the other. once you get logged on to the lce, you have quite a few menu options to choose from. one good thing about hyper terminal, is that you can start a text file from within the program that will continue to capture everything you see on the computer screen until you tell it to stop capturing. it is then saved as txt file. easy way to have a saved copy of all parameters. i have a little write up if your interested, pm me your email, and i will send you a pdf. as far as using any laptop, im sure you could, just need a communication program. i also have a couple old communication programs i could send you that we used to use on the swift, t3, etc. i think roll call is checking on LON nodes? not sure, also what the hell is Konexion
