- What is SEEPORTS?
-
- This simple program is a pop-up TSR that reports the current
- settings of your serial ports ( baud rate, data bits, parity, etc ).
- Since SEEPORTS is resident, it can be extremely useful if you are
- debugging communications H/W or S/W, or if you are just curious
- how your ports are getting set by such software. This TSR should
- work fine with other well behaved TSRs, but you probably won't have
- a reason to use it frequently (don't bother putting it in your
- AUTOEXEC.BAT unless telecommunications is all you ever do).
-
- To load the program just type the name, such as
-
- C> SEEPORTS <return>
-
- The HOT-KEYs that pop up the status display are ALT-1 (for COM1),
- or ALT-2 (for COM2). If you have only COM1, then the ALT-2 hot-key
- is ignored.
-
- The status display is a simple one-line display at the very
- top of the screen. It is self-explanatory. To remove the status line
- and restore the original screen line, just press the same hot-key
- again. You may also just let the status line scroll off the screen.
-
- This utility is FREE. If you have an need to see COM3 or COM4,
- or just want to comment, you can reach the authors at
