Thank you Martin,
It works. What is funny (stupid) is that I compiled the new version last week and sent it to Charles Henry [czhenry@gmail.com] In addition, because I want to control a serial mouse I must first power it by enabling RTS and also enable the RTS/CTS handshaking in order to make it work.

Hey,
I got something similar last night. I tried to interface a serial mouse to one of my com ports. The idea behind this is to get more handy controls at no cost. I checked the proto of the mouse I found back in stuff with a terminal
and a hex editor.
It mached the description of a Microsoft 2 button mouse (3 data words of 7 bits 1200 bps no parity one stop no handshake) So far so good But
I didn't recieved anything in comport (after turning off the teminal to release the com) I also tried something less exotic (another PC connected wit a null modem cable to the port - Both running
9600-8-N-1 no handshake) But I wasn't able to get anything.
I noticed that open 0 opens COM1, open 1 opens com 2...
If so you have an old version of comport. The latest version will probably work better. Martin
