I did read the FAQ, including the item on Hyperterm, and since I'm such an expert I had no problem gliding right past the red arrow pointing to handshaking=none :-)

I wish there was a way to retract a post. After reading the whole technical board and trying for an hour, I figured it out 2 minutes after I posted the message.


I never did understand why the ports default in pairs on an unsharable resource like an IRQ. But I've always installed modems as COM3 with an unused IRQ usually 5 or 7; 7 is used by some newer versions of parrallel ports (e.g. ECP).
