- As stated in a previous post, I finally got a third com port (COM4 w/
- IRQ5) working with Windows 3.1 by setting VirtualHDIrq=false in
- system.ini. I notice that this port, and only this port, is dropping
- characters sporatically. Both COM2 and COM4 sport 2400 baud modems,
- but only COM4 is acting up. I fiddled with the COMBoostTime and
- COMxBuffer settings in system.ini to no avail so far. I've also tried
- increasing Telix's priority to 1000 with no luck. Any ideas?
