Is any one out there successfully running a bbs under Windows 3.0? How did you get windows to leave your Comport alone. Mine keeps requesting to use it during calls. It freezes thebbs program until I come along and tell it to leave the com port alone. Has anyone else had this problem? And if so, did you fix it? How? The whole thing has me stumped. I would appreciate any help I could get.

Do uner the 386 Enhanced icon and use help, or check the manual for more details. The only problem I know of in Windows dealing with COM ports is that if you dial in with a terminal program, and exit the terminal program without hanging up, Windows will drop DTR, hanging up the phone for you. Now THERE's something I wish I could stop! ----- Daniel R. Jeuch Microsoft Corp.
