   Hi all!   
      
   Well, it looks like I got OS/2 Warp 4 installed in a VM and the BBS   
   working with SIO 1.60d and VMODEM.  Unfortunately, whenever I go to   
   start the BBS, I am getting the popup saying that the virtual com port   
   is in use when it really isn't.  If I ignore through the error boxes,   
   the BBS starts up just find and runs normally.   
      
   Unfortunately, this popup is an annoyance when trying to run a front   
   end mailer (ViaMail in this case) and it goes to load the BBS and the   
   BBS exits back out to the mailer when a caller logs off.
