[Trlog] No data from CAT to computer...

[Steve London]

I never did get my serial ports to work with FreeDOS and TRLog, despite having 
the DOS driver from the serial port chip manufacturer.

Finally gave up and moved to a 21st century logging program. The same serial 
ports are still working fine with Windows XP, 5 years and two motherboards later.
