- This is the same experience that almost everyone gets from using the
- 10 August COM-drivers (COMMGA AKA COM2210). They seem to work OK in
- a DOS-box, but many communication programs in OS/2 get a one way
- communication only (only sending, no receiving), and when exiting
- they TRAP and halts the entire system.
-
- I would recommend against using these drivers.
