I am having problems using the terminal program with my modem, which I have installed as com3, when using Windows 3.0 in 386 Enhanced mode. As soon as I start Terminal I get a dialog box with the message "com3 is being used by a DOS application. Do you want to assign it to Windows? [Yes] [No]" This comes up even though I have no DOS applications running. If I say "yes", it then says "com2 is busy, try com1?". Saying yes to this results in com1 being used. If I then go in to the Settings/ Communications dialog box and try to use com3, the same things happen again. Also, when I exit Windows, I cannot access the modem at all. I have to do a hard reset to get the modem back to life. The kicker is that when I run in real mode, everything works fine. In fact I am typing this using Terminal. Any ideas? Mark Mark D.
