Thanks for responding, Klaus -
I did find the method of changing the com ****t number to one I wanted to
use
by doing exactly what you suggested. The default installed ****t was com 6
which I was able to successfully change to com 1. The first ****t responds
exactly how it should and I can set up a HyperTerminal session to it, etc.
The problem is really trying to get the system (Windows XP) to recognize
the
second device the same way so I can change the com ****t to com 2 and use
itm, also.
I guess its tough luck :)
