ABOUT WIN 3.0 AND COMMUNICATION/COM PORT CONFLICTS

Configure your computer system with mouse on COM1 and modem on COM2.
Setting modem on any other COM port or even the mouse on any other COM
port will cause problems and give "COM PORT USED BY DOS APPLICATION" messages.

After doing that, use the WIN 3.0 text editor NOTEPAD and edit the 
WIN.INI file in the WINDOWS subdirectory.  Get to the [Terminal] section
and change the "Port" setting to COM2.

That should solve the problem.  I had similar problems, too.  Let me know
on my e-mail address if it works.
