   I get unable to access serial port.  I'm using -handle *W (as the gac docs   
   say) and -c pointing to the config file. -socket *W gave me the same error.   
      
   Thanks much, man!  Has anyone been able to get these working?  I'll stick   
   with 16 bit, but I like as many 32 bit doors as possible...
