[Dxbase] Some Findings on my COM ports

Joseph, you gave me an idea. In the DXBase folder off the Start Menu is DXB Driver Setup. So I checked that and found that the addresses for some of the ports were not the same as in the device manager, they are now, but it didn't matter. I also went into the Device Manger and made sure the settings for ports 1 and 3 matched what I had in DXB, including speed, flow control (hardware) and everything else. Rebooted and still no difference. One thing I am not sure of is the FIFO setting and didn't get any hits in the Help file about it.
I just went through checking the DTR, RTS and CTS settings on the second rig. Found out that if CTS is turned on that DXBase fusses big time about it, so it didn't take long to check the 4 possibilities of the DTR and RTS switches. Again same old thing.
What still doesn't make sense is that fact that I am having the same problem with two different rigs on two different ports.
