That is what I am using and I have tested it from com1 thru com 10 in 
DXBase2004 without problem. I have 2 built in com ports (1 and 2) and 2 
Byterunner 4 port PCI cards to bring my com port count up to 10..
This is with the Byterunner PCI cards as I said, and Windows ME. I also 
successfuly tested this with Windows XP (but with DXB2003...never did 
any XP testing with 2004..didn't get the time).
I would suspect your com cards. What are you using?
