Hi.

I have a major problem with my Packard Bell Packmate I (AT clone):

For some reason, certain programs lock up my COM ports (both of them).
I have experienced this problem with TELIX (terminal program), but KERMIT
works just fine.

Now I have just noticed that the Print Spooler in WINDOWS/286 does the
same when I send a file longer than a page to my Imagewriter II.
The spooler tells me that it is "Unable to write to COM2" - much the 
same problem I had with TELIX... I could receive data, but not send it.

This problem is now getting on my nerves.  PLEASE - if anyone out there
has any ideas what the problem could be (I have tried changing parameters
such as Hardware/no handshake, &c.  but to no avail), I would MUCH
appreciate help!

Thank you

Nick
