FSC-Control: EID:5b59 15960962 Hi, I am real new to OS/2 and am really just beginning to explore things. I have downloaded a couple of comms programs now and can't seem to get either working. My system doesn't seem to recognize my COM1 or COM2 ports. I am currently using PROCOMM PLUS after booting off a DOS floppy, but that's a hassle. I would far prefer to get an OS/2 comms program working. I have a DEVICE=\OS2\COM01.SYS statement in my config.sys file... Am I doing something wrong??? I have read all available (scanty) info I can get my hands on already. Thanks in advance.

I have a > DEVICE=\OS2\COM01.SYS statement in my config.sys file... I assume you're trying to run PROCOMM in the DOS box. You have to make a COM port available for use by a DOS program under OS/2. Check out the command SETCOM40; it's something like: SETCOM40 COM1:=ON Bob -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Bob Eager | University of Kent at Canterbury | +44 227 764000 ext 7589 -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
