COM port

Hello,

A MS-DOS-based program (Lely expert) running in Windows 98SE uses serial
COM-port 1 to communicate with a VCPC-controller. De program runs in W98SE in
a DOS-window.

In Windows XP the program also runs in a DOS-window, but the communication
over the COM-port doesn't work. How shoul I use the Active comport Serial
Port Toolkit 2.1 to make the DOS-based program communicate in Windows XP?

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,
Hans
