The addresses and interrupt Telix 3.11 is able to use any COM port. From COM1 to COM8. (I've never heard of COM5 - COM8. Have you?) I don't have anything to do with Telix. In fact, I was trying to get Procomm when somebody gave me a copy of Telix to try. I'm still trying to digest everything, including the SALT script language that comes with it. And of course, being able to support up to COM8 means nothing, it could still be a piece of garbage. J.Setti The Transport Group Civil Engineering Dept. UofWaterloo Waterloo, Ontario - Canada
