Consider the information you received to be "bogus" at best!!
 
I have done it here without problems!  My suspicion would be Procomm, as
it has more bugs than a dog has fleas!  Very carefully check the setup in
Procomm.  If you still have a problem, try using Telix.  I'm suggesting
this from an experience I had some time ago.  Switching to Telix solved
the problem...what ever it was as it couldn't be found.

Hope this helps!
