What is ASERCTL?

This utility is a HP 100/200LX TSR that will allow control over
the serial port power once it is installed.  To turn power on
press [ALT][+] at any time.  To turn port power off, press
[ALT][-] at any time.  ASERCTL takes 352 bytes memory.

Why do I need it?

The 100/200LX is supplied with a small utility called SERCTL.COM
to control the serial port from DOS.  Unfortunately, the port
setting in SETUP over-rides the action of this program.  Also
System Manager does not turn off the port when it is done with
it when exiting cc:Mail or Datacomm.  By properly managing power
to the port, you can extend your battery life up to 20%.

System Manager does have a 15 minute timeout on the power
to the serial port if it is unused. This feature is not
disconnected by using ASERCTL.
