Bob,
These are the lines that invoke sio2k.sys in my config.sys:
 
DEVICE=C:\SIO2K\UART.SYS LOGFILE=C:\SIO2K\SIO2K.LOG
DEVICE=C:\SIO2K\VSIO2K.SYS LOGFILE=C:\SIO2K\VSIO2K.LOG
DEVICE=C:\SIO2K\SIO2K.SYS LOGFILE=C:\SIO2K\SIO2K.LOG
Attached to com2 is an external modem while com3 is an internal PnP ISA modem 
with IRQ 10 set by the PnP BIOS. (COM2 and COM3 initializes w/o any problems 
with sio160d package...)

I have tried running logger.exe (included with the sio2k package) as advised in 
the faq, then running modes com2:115200,n,8,1.  :(  Still won't work properly.

How I would wish to be able to buy a 10/12 port version of sio.sys...  But it's 
going to be too bloddy expensive for me... <sigh> (In fact, I have been mulling 
over migrating to Linux... too bad Maximus software is not yet ported to 
Linux.) BTW, I have been visiting your site at www.juge.com.  A very handy site 
it is. =)  Thanks.

Regards,
Peter
