- Do you have:
-
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\COM.SYS (3,3e8,5) (4,2e8,2)
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VCOM.SYS (3,3e8,5) (4,2e8,2)
-
- in your config.sys? OS/2 doesn't recognise COM3 or 4 unless you add these
- parameters. This is in the FAQ.
-
- I believe these parms will also work with the (very good!) SIO.SYS and
- VSIO.SYS third-party comms drivers - currently at version 0.15, I hear.
