Sorry if this is an FAQ or just downright stupid, but here goes:

When I bring up windows, if I start my telecommunications program
relatively quickly (<5 minutes), I have no problems.  If I wait a while
(especially if I haven't been doing anything and the screen saver is
running), the port seems to "disappear".  The comm program (Telix)
cannot access the port, and the control panel denies it exists.

The only way I can recover is to turn off the machine.  Restarting
windows does not help.

I am using NDW, Telix, and a Quicktel 2400 modem.

Thanks for any help,

Chris
