Have you tried using a program like 'Flush' that will flush all libs and
deveices that are flushable? I have had a similar problem with different
term programs leaving the serial port open and this has helped me.

If you don't have or can't find 'Flush' send me email and I'll email it to
you.

Just had a thought ... I have gone into Baud Bandit, sent the modem an
'ATZ' to reset it, then opened another term program, Spot, PortalX, or
GPFax. I'm trying to remember why? I think my Sportster used to sometimes
'hang' like it was open already and this was my reason?
