I just recently installed MS-WINDOWS v3.0 and MS-DOS v5.0 on my 386.  
However, I have been experiencing some problems using the 
TELECOMMUNICATIONS program that comes with windows - actually, the 
program won't work for me at all.   Every time I execute the TEL. 
program I receive the error message: " you have no available COMM ports. 
Please free up a COMM port" (well the message was something of the 
sort).   I am able to use TELIX (a DOS based communications program) 
from windows and it works fine.  Why won't the windows communications 
program work ????????????????????????????????   The hardware I have is a 
386-20 MHz, 4 Megs RAM, SupraMODEM, Microsoft Bus Mouse, and as stated 
above, use MS-DOS 5.0.   I have no other problems with my computer.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  THANKS IN ADVANCE !!!!!!!
D.G.   :-)   :-)
