[comp.windows.ms] COM2 port not recognized by WIN 3.0

chaney@ms.uky.edu (Dan Chaney) (01/12/91)

Hello all.

	Forgive me if this has been asked before, I've only recently
subscribed to this newsgroup.  

My problem is:  I can't make WIN 3.0 realize I have 2 COM ports, though
running Procomm in a DOS window works just fine.  What I need to do is
make the Terminal use COM2, but neither it nor the Ports section of the
Setup(?) area allow or admit the existence of COM2.  The Communications
window of the Terminal lets me set everything up and the ends with a 
"COM2 not availbale" type error message.

Is this a common problem with (hopefully) a common fix?

Please reply via email and I'll post a summary prompted.
