RAMail's Internal Protocols and Non-standard COM Ports
------------------------------------------------------
Unlike RAMail itself, the built-in protocols do not use the fossil driver
to determine your COM port settings. This has no impact on standard ports,
but if you use non-standard COM port configurations, the internal protocols
will not function without special attention.
To alleviate this problem, you must add an additional parameter to the RAMAIL
command line. This parameter is the character '&' followed by your COM port
address (in hex) and your IRQ setting. For example, if your address and IRQ
settings are 3E8,5, your command line would look like this:
RAMAIL.EXE RAMAIL.CFG &3E8,5
Note there are no spaces in the COM setting parameter. Also, the COM setting
parameter MUST be passed immediately following the CFG file name.
