No Ron, it's easier than that. Just read in the HELP file under INI
options|Ports and see:
There are 4 "slots" available for WriteLog rig interfacing. By default,
CommSlot1 is COM1:, but you can change that by changing the number on
the right of the equal sign. These settings are not used for RTTY or for
packet
CommSlot1=1
CommSlot2=2
In this example, the third and fourth slots are on COM7 and COM8. COM15
is as high as is supported.
CommSlot3=7
CommSlot4=8
WriteLog only lets you use 4 serial ports, but they can be numbered
other than 1-4.
