Re: CM11A with SERIAL to USB problems

[nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Dave Houston)]

I fear we've exhausted my knowledge on this topic - someone who is currently
using ActiveHome under XP is needed - I haven't used it under XP and haven't
used in under W98SE in a long, long time. With the old copy I have on a
W98SE machine (v1.42), you select the port in the "Configuration |
Preferences" menu. It only allows COM1-COM4 while I have COM1-COM13 on this
particular machine.
