Maybe that is doing something to it? Do you get random characters (when using siocons) as you move your mouse around? (You mentioned you use COM1---I use COM3) Do you have an internal modem? Did you check your DJSETUP.BAT to make sure that the correct vars are being set up? (Try typing "SET" at the DOS prompt to get a list of the current environment.) You may also try moving the serial cable away from from other electrical devices. If you happen to live near someone with a Yaroze, try swapping their cable for yours just to see if it works. As a final resort, you could back up your computer somewhere, strip all cards (except those very necessary for I/O) out of it, and make sure Win95 boots _real_ clean. This should remove any extra devices from using the COM ports. Then run siocons again and see if you're getting problems. - e?
