I have found it necessary to boot straight to a DOS prompt in order 
to reliably get access to comm ports. Using "ReStart in MS-DOS Mode" 
does not work. You can boot to the DOS prompt by banging on the F8 
key when starting Windows, or by editting the hidden file MSDOS.SYS 
to set the parameter BOOTGUI=0. (To get back into Windows, type "Win" 
like in the 3.1 days). 

The above paragraph applies to Win98 and 95 systems. I don't 
understand why anyone would want ME, NT, 2000 or XP on their shack PC 
when contest software is DOS based.
