I am aware that this subject has probably been discussed to death on earlier
postings, however I just tuned into this group and all the postings related
to this topic have expired.

Would someone be good enough to take a minute to describe how to clear this
problem one more time?  If its a dead horse on the newsgroup, please respond
by mail.

(This is the problem where you try to use Terminal to connect to your
modem on a COM port (in my case COM4) only to be told that all COM ports
are in use and that they must first be freed.)

I've messed around with just about every COM-related entry in the *.ini
files to no avail.
