Windows 95 has 'nicked' the port. If you exit kermit and start it
again the port will be yours for the taking. Its a royal pain in the
arse, but I get around it by checking the\v(port) variable and if it
isn't com? (whatever I chose) then I quit straight out.
Its strange, but - for me anyway - Windows 95 takes the port away for
every alternate external use of it.
Aren't Microsoft great ?
