Every now and then, for not apparently consistent reasons, WinQVT gives
me an unrecoverable application error message and quits.  If I kill it
and try to start again, win3 gives me a COM port already open message
and I won't be able to run QVT again until I restart windows.

Question, is there any way to stay in windows and re-initialize a COM port?

How?

Thanks in advance.
