Hi,
I have read a bit about this issue some posts are quite old talking about patches and DLL etc...tried setting various combinations of realport syntax and I cannot get it to work.When I run the program in Windows the com port works fine with program. Lanuch same program within DosBoX and it wont connect.
Really want to get this working so any advice greatly appreciated!!

What exactly are you trying to do?

And keep this in mind as well: DOSBox IS NOT SUITED TO RUN YOUR NON-GAMING DOS APPLICATION

Ooohh, the pain......

Patches and DLLs and so on are really only necessary for parallel port (like LPT1) emulation. There is no complex syntax for serial port (COM) emulation.

When I run the program in Windows the com port works fine with program. Lanuch same program within DosBoX and it wont connect.

If the program runs in Windows, isn't it already working?
