Connecting with XP

I am trying to connect to my BS1 with XP on a laptop. If I move the cable
to my Win 95 laptop, it works fine.

Any suggestions?

    Use the WIN95 laptop.

    Sorry, I could not resist.

    IS it because you are running XP or is your laptop a new type without a
    serial port?
    I had the same problem and it was not XP but the USB to Serial Adapter. I
    tried 3 types (Belikn is the only one I remember). They did not have the
    right Drivers. They are now residing in the local landfill in many little
    pieces.
    My laptop started with Win ME and I had to upgrade to XP.

    I am using a Keyspan USA-19W and it works with all the Stamps and the new 2.5
    software. It cost $49 (or $59), but it is worth it if it works.
    The geniuses who make laptops assumed that when they switched to USB and
    deleted the serial port, that all the old serial stuff in the whole world
    would magically convert to USB!

    Whoops, Sorry for that last reply. I didn't notice you were talking about a
    BS-1. I haven't used one of them in 5 years and do not know about any issues
    with them.
