| Well, DOS accomodates for it. In the batch file you are calling, add the
| following lines:
| 
| ECHO ATH1 > COM2
| [contents of batch file to do work]
| ECHO ATH0 > COM2

On my system - 386SX-16, Waffle 1.65, DesqView, Gateway Telepath 9600
v32bis, BNU 1.70 (Thanks Dave!) ECHO ATH0 > COM1 locks the machine up.
So does X00 by the way.  When I switched to BNU (1.70!!) it started
working.  Newer versions of BNU failed.

So now I use FECHO ... (thanks Dave!)
