When I get this, I just repeat the "take mscustom.ini" command, and the
second time, it works. I don't know why. The error occurs after I have
used a Windows comm program, never when I start with Kermit. Your
mscustom.ini script can test \v(port) to see whether it is a COM or a BIOS
and stop in case of an error, but I haven't been able to find a point to
branch back to in order to fix the problem automatically.
