[TRLog] Serial Ports

[NR1DX]

Been there .... done that ....got the scars (both physical and 
psychological) to prove it.

Depending on the manufacturer of the port and how good it's DOS drivers are 
( a growing problem in this day and age) TRLog will address up to 6 COM 
ports (but not 8). Provided they are recognized as COM1-6. In some 
instances the plug and play nature of cards today may want to assign a new 
card as say COM 7 even though COM 5 is missing. This can prove to be a 
challenge. I have had pretty good luck with cards by Siig. The COM5 and 
COM6 commands are in the manual. If you use LPT1 and LPT2 for keying and 
PTT control this would give you the 8 ports you need
