[WriteLog] Byterunner Configuration Problems

[W7RY]

The only thing that comm 1-4 are used for is Rigs.

Let me qualify that though... Packet can use 1-8, RTTY can use 1-8.

But rigs can be set up on comm. 1-4. Also, comm. 1-4 can be used for CW
generation as well.

You can also "map" within the writelog.ini file, comm ports. Take a look
at the excellent help page.

Subject: [WriteLog] Byterunner Configuration Problems

I am setting up Writelog on a new Windows 2000 computer.  The box
already 
has two standard COM ports installed as COM1 and COM2.  I installed  my 
Byterunner 4 port Serial I/O PCI card.  The install seemed to go OK but
the new ports 
show up as COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8 in Device Manager.
 
When I go to the Setup Ports in WL, all I see , of course, is COM1 Thru

COM4.  I can't seem to establish communications on the Byterunner  Card.
I tried 
using ports 3 and 4 thinking that maybe they map to COM5 and  COM6 some
way 
but no luck.  In Device Manager, I tried setting the BIOS COM  Port
Number to 
COM3 or COM4 but that didn't seem to help either.
 
Any suggestions?  I didn't seem to have this problem on my Windows 98
box.
