Thanks to all who had sent me mails or posted their experiences in the
conference.  Following is the message from the wizard who has same 
equipment as I do and had solved the problem.  

Special thanks to you, Juergen.  One addition here is that I didn't
use the setup disk to screen redirection but used the ROM setup, and
it worked!

I'm using exactly the same machine and HAD exactly the same problem.  PLEASE
read the "readme.txt" file in c:\windows: it tells you that windows does not
like redirected com-ports.  Unfortunately, the AT&T 6386/25 Intel box comes

Sorry, hit the wrong key.  Correction:  Windows does not like redirection
of the screen to com-ports.  Unfortunately, the WGS comes with screen
redirection enabled to com2.  You have to run the SETUP from you customer
diskette (not the ROM-version!) to disable screen redirection.  After that,
the puzzle it solved....  I ran into the same trap and only found the
solution after reading EVERY page of the windows manual and ALL *.txt files
at least 5 times...

Hope you did NOT do that...
