Mike,
See no one responded via the reflector. Did you get the help you need or do
you still need some help.
If you have the commands all figured out how to start up the program from
the command prompt, then adding it to the autoexec file is easy.

Got it working, finally thanks to Dan, KD4D. He spent the weekend working
with me until we had success. He suggested I summarize and publish what I had
to do so others can benefit. I shall.
History:
My system is W98SE
I am doing SO2R and decided to run RTTY using MMTTY. However, I needed two
more Com ports. To solve this issue, I purchased aByterunner 410 H 4
serial/1lpt card.
Problem: In DOS and running TR, I could not establish rig 2 /computer com
munication like I had with the card I removed. So, I asked for help.
Dan came to my rescue and spent the better part of this weekend helping me.
The below instructions are for the Byterunner 410 H 4 serial/1lpt card. The
card comes with a disc that contains drivers (including DOS), VSEMUIO setup
instructions and VSSHOW program that will display port addressing.
The first step is to create a file named VSEMUIO and saved it on the C drive:
C:\VSEMUIO
I saved the VESMUIO.EXE (from the supplied cd and VSEMUIO.CFG file (see
below)
The second step is to set up a cfg file using Notepad. Here is mine:
S,A800,02E0,14,8,5
Save it as VSEMUIO.cfg in the VSEMUIO folder described above. The string
instructions are detailed in the VSEMUIO Readme file.
The below instructions are what I did to configure COMM 5 to work in DOS
Third, in TR Two radio config file (some may call it logcfg.dat), I changed
my rig 2 config line to read
RADIO TWO CONTROL PORT = SERIAL 5 (EXISTING)
SERIAL 5 PORT ADDRESS = 02E8 (NEW)
Reboot into DOS. I hit the F8 key on boot to get me to the command prompt.
During the boot, you should see the string
C:\>C:\VSEMUIO\VSEMUIO C:\VSEMUIO\VSEMUIO.CFG
This means the VSEMUIO program is running. At the C prompt start TR the way
you normally do and enjoy.
I am back to SO2R
So why did I do this? RTTY.........first card only gave me a total of 6 com
ports.
Com 1 Packet
Com 2 Rig 1
Com 3 Keyboad
Com 4 mouse
Com 5 Rig 2
Com 6 Rotor
Com 7 Rtty rig 1
Com 8 Rtty rig 2
Dan gave me permission to publish his email address; _kd4d@comcast.net_
(mailto:kd4d@comcast.net)
I am truly grateful for all the help Dan provided
