This is actually a NT 4.0 problem. It is seeing the Box as a serial
device that needs a driver. I solved the problem with the help of
Dell tech support by forcing it to not try and load the drivers.
Until then you can dis-connect the box from the serial port during
boot-up and then re-connect afterwords.
If you cannot get NT 4.0 technical help. Email me direct and I can
try and look at what they did to my machine.
