   The problem I have is that when passing the com port to Max/2 in EXEBBS.CMD,   
   Max returns with a message say that it cannot load the comm driver. When I   
   pass al lthe contents of the % variables to a log file, I get the following:   
      
   {0}[c:\ftn\fd] type fd.out   
   Speed: 57600   
   Port: 1   
   Event Time: 10080   
   Task #: 1   
   Connection Msg: /ARQ/TEL_FROM_127.0.0.1   
   CID: N/A   
   Port Handle: 12   
      
   I pass the port number as well as the speed and handles to Maximus/2 but it   
   still doesn't accept the connection and I get the following error message is   
   the logs for this particular node:   
      
   {0}[c:\ftn\fd] type \max\Max.Log   
      
   + 06 Sep 23:51:53 MAX Begin, v3.01 (task=1)   
   ! 06 Sep 23:51:53 MAX SYS0032: Cannot open com port (com1)   
   ! 06 Sep 23:51:53 MAX Communications driver not properly installed   
      
   However, whenever I run Maximus/2 in WFC mode, I do not get the above error   
   message.
