details of system included in original posting.


After trying various possible solutions, I managed to communicate
using Terminal in Windows real mode. This was also after a change
to WIN.INI to include under [TERMINAL] an indication that port is
COMM 4. This does not seem to help in 386 enhanced mode, and DOS
communications programs still do not work.  

Hope that the foregoing assists some others and further help
would still be appreciated. Thanks again
