Adventures in X00 FOSSIL-land

Problem 1:
	I'm attempting to run the X00 1.24 FOSSIL driver with the Boyan 5.0
comm program on an internal Infotel 9600 configured as COM4, IRQ 2.
Everything looks fine, until I try to communicate with the modem.  All
chars in Boyan aren't echoed back, e.g. I type "AT".  The screen shows nuttin,
honey.
	The CONFIG.SYS command line I'm using is:

DEVICE=C:\X00\X00.SYS E 2=COM4,IRQ2

BTW, Boyan works fine w/o X00, but I'd like to use the FOSSIL for a BBS.


Problem 2:
	I try to put multiple parameters on the CONFIG.SYS command line
without considerable success.  For example,

DEVICE=C:\X00\X00.SYS 3 E 2=COM4,IRQ2

shows 3 ports using XU, but the setting of port 2 to COM4,IRQ2 isn't done.
But,

DEVICE=C:\X00\X00.SYS E 2=COM4,IRQ2 3

sets port 2 correctly, but only allows 1 (the default number) of ports.
The docs claim, "The parameters are given...in any order."  (p. 6)

Any ideas?  Thanks.
