#1 Comm port 10 problem

[Byron Whited]

Hi,

I have been running BinkleyTerm on OS/2 for several
years, and have just started the upgrade(?) to
WINNT.

So far the conversion is going well, except for one
point. I cannot bet BT32 to open com10 and above.

I get the following error message:
"Couldn't initialize COM10. Make sure the port isn't
in use by another process, that you are permitted
access to it, and if you are using a modem on another
computer make sure it's online."

I am using a 16 port DIGI-Board, com3 through com9
work great with BT32.

I can get to all 16 com ports with HyperAccess.

I am running WIN2K.

I have this probelm with BT32xe 2.60xe/Gamma-6(ntcomm)

and
BT32XE 2.60xe/Beta-XH7

Any hints or suggestions?

Thanks
Byron

Hi,

I found the solution to this problem.

It seems that WinNT and Win2k require the following form
for com ports > 9.

port \\.\com10

You can use the form for any com port, eg
port \\.\com1

This is documented on the Digi support areas,
