- I should have stated this before. I have to use COM4 because another program
- I need to use (to access this university's NOVANET system; I do not know if
- any one is familiar with this, or if it is just specific to this university-
- but anyway I have to access it with this certain communications program)
- will not allow me to use COM2 for some reason. So I have to set the modem to
- COM4 and tell this program to use COM4. Anyway, I tried COM2 with the
- comm program that does not print anything on the screen under OS2, and it was
- the same thing-it still did not print anything on the screen.
