This was one of the first things I tried after buying Sonix, unfortunately
Sonix wanted the serial port (for MIDI, I presume) and so it grabbed it,
whether or not it was already in use (by whatever comm program I was using
back then). When I complained about this to Aegis, they said they would get
back to me. I am still waiting.

Does anyone know if they ever fixed this?
