TD/386 woes...

I have had NO success trying to use TD/386.  Problem was that port 21h
was getting changed somewhere and I couldn't figure out where, when it
occurred to me, "hey, this is a prefect job for TD386"... So, I put
it's driver in CONFIG.SYS, fire it up, set break on out to port 21, run.
boom.  GP fault.  So, I strip down CONFIG and AUTOEXEC, try it again,
same thing.  So, my (minimal) config is:

STACKER 2.0
TDH386.SYS

and nothing else...  TD386 seems like it could be a very useful tool
for problems like this, but it doesn't do me much good the way it
is... 

This hasn't been the first time that TD386 has failed; it also failed
me in a similar situation, but last time I wrote it off because I
meant for the breakpoint (another port access) to happen within the
ROM BIOS, so I figured that that might cause some problems.  This
time, I have no idea whatsoever why it wouldn't work.  I got all the
patches to BC++ 3.1 I could find, none of them seem to pertain to TD,
so... 

ideas, anyone?
