- You're joking, aren't you??
-
- What's causing your intermittent hang is something I can't answer,
- insufficient data. However, regarding the different <comm.drv> files I will
- comment on.
-
- They are not interchangeable! The <comm.drv> in WfW v3.11 integrates with
- other files, <serial.386> and <vcomm.386>, where <comm.drv> from Win v3.1
- wouldn't know a <vcomm.386> if it fell over one.
-
- As to one <comm.drv> being better than the other, it's moot, they both
- stink.
