I am using mskermit 3.15 as an external protocol to ProComm 2.0 for DOS --
in a Win95 DOS windows. It was working perfectly before when I had a external
Zoom 14.4 modem on COM2.
Then someone gave me an internal Sporster 28.8/33.6 data/fax modem. I
configured the port to COM3; and the external protocol doesn't work any more.
[I also installed Norton Utilities 3.0 which installed DCOM on my computer.
I don't know what it is. I mention it just in case it means something to
you.]
In mscustom.ini, I have the following statement:
set modem sports
set port com3 <03E8> <3>
[I get the address and irq for Win95 properties box.
This is also what I have for ProComm.]
When I run msk31n, I get the following error message.

I have tried removing < >, I get a slightly different message -- that E is a
unknown math symbol.
I have also tried the simple
set port 3
In that case, if I type msk315n (by itself) in a DOS window, it seems to
be OK -- when I type dial ###-####, which is the line I am dialing out on,
I get a busy signal.
However, when I access mskermit as an external protocol (for download) in
ProComm for DOS, I get the following screen.

Then it seems to freezed. I have to "end task" to get out of it. The a
dialog box pop up saying that the program did an illegal operation.
Would appreciate a diagnosis of my problem and cure.
TIA
