   Hello Jay!

   Some doors on fast machines can be problematic... You have to "slow down" the   
   machine (virtually) for them to work at all. On my system (OS/2 [ECS2ga] the   
   machine is a 2.6GHz machine. I have to utilise "slowdown.com" in the VDM that   
   runs whichever door is problematic, including my mail editor. Here's a sample   
   of the command line to start the editor:   
      
   slowdown /x quikedit.exe /D:c:\max\%2\ /N:%2 /T:%3

   Scott: Are you able to pass a "hot" comm port with XP so that a door won't   
   think you've just had a dropped carrier?   
      
   Best regards,
