I'm trying to access the COM1: port using TPascal 3.1 and 5.0, both with
no success.  I was told that I could simply "writeln" or "read" using
the device AUX, without any prior assigns or rewrites.

A simple program containing one line of code like:

writeln(AUX,'a');

... would lock-up the 286 compatible I was using.

Any suggestions?  How about COM2?

-Thanks in advance - John (johnc@dasys1)
