Well, I have picked up a copy of the Nokia Data
Suite, and may need your advice <s>.
I use a virtual port with OS/2, and no problem. It
is set to com3, when there is only a serial port
on com2. I use it to check Compuserve while
logged on to my ISP on com2, doing other
things.
Does the Nokia virtual port allow for other uses
concurrently?
