If in windows 3.1, 95, 98, or me try the following.
Edit your system.ini file.
Search for the [386 enhanced] subsection.
Immediately under that header insert the following line.
comxautoassign=0
where x is the number of your com port 1, 2, 3, or 4.
This prevents windows from taking total control of your com port. It
allows sharing between windows and a dos program.
Note however, that you will have no data integrity between the two
programs. By this I mean that data from one program could corrupt the
operation of the other. I use this strategy successfully for running dos
terminal programs under windows 95 and 98.
Hope this helps someone out there.
