- I don't get it when downloading. Noise and crap, and maybe a few keystrokes
- seems to invoke it.
-
- Sometimes I see a message in TE/2's windows that says 'blah blah...thread
- died' or something like that.
-
- You could try getting the new TE/2 commpak.dll.
- I'd like to give that a try for a while, but I won't: it
- screws up the arrow keys in VI, so I went back to the old dll.
-
- You could try the SIO com port drivers (although I've had bad luck with
- beta 0.25 version)
-
- One of the might do the trick.
