Hello Julio,
I have tried both operations.  The auto232 does not work properly as "Master".
This means that it will not work properly with another program "hanging" on a
2nd computer.  I'm currently playing CST-2/windows 98 on the ICC as E-TAL.  The
interface works great with the exception noted.  Chris seem reluctant to "fix"
the problem unless enough people complain about it.  It's a shame because the
rest of the interface is very good.  It will play against another computer as
"Slave" with very little problem but it seems there is no way to make it work
properly as master and that is needed to operate the 2nd program on ICC.  I'm on
ICC most every day now and anyone wishing to play the program just message/email
me.  It's not as strong as Fritz (IMHO) but it plays better than most all humans
and is fun to play against.  If you want more info about the auto232 you can
email me and I'll give you anything I have at the time.
