Problems with LPT ports.

Is there any way to get logical lpt ports (i.e. lpt-4, lpt-5, etc..) to
work under Clipper in a Command prompt session in Windows NT Server 4.0?
With
"logical lpt ports" I mean ports which have a number associated, so
\\server\epson" is not such kind of port.

In a Command prompt session, I can use these ports without any problem, but
when I try to access them under Clipper, it tries to create the port in a
.PRN file (just as Clipper documentation states when it can't open a port).

Please note that these ports have been captured with "Net use", in the way
"net use lpt5 \\192.168.100.101".
