- Yep. This is because Windows knows that these comm. programs use
- the comm. port, and so it (rightly) refuses to swap them out of memory
- in order to avoid loosing characters.
- The correct solution is to get a real operating system with device
- drivers for the comm. hardware, and matching comm. software.
