Hi.  After talking with someone at Traveling Software, it seems that part
of my problem is that, when booting with a DOS 5.0 floppy, I do not have
access to the COM1 port, i.e., after booting into DOS, if the first thing I
do is:

A:> echo dir >com1

I get:

Write fault error writing device COM1
Abort, Retry, Ignore, Fail?

When I try the same thing after booting into Windows NT, I get no errors.

According to the guy at Traveling Software, I should be able to do this
from DOS without error.  This may be a purely DOS question, but does
anyone know why this would be failing?  Are there any fixes?

Thanks for any help.
