Hello, Francois,

The ONLY fossil I found that would work with Windows 3.1 OR
W4WG was BNU. I tried them ALL! Nothing worked until I installed
BNU 1.88Beta, then it was .....ok....... although still flaky.
 FR> live with its limitation of 38400 as the maximum serial

BNU isn't limited to 38400. At least version 1.70 isn't. IF one
wishes to use 115200, it must be written 11520 (for some strange
reason).
Check your docs closely. OBTW......I saw something on the BNU
echo that said anything above 1.70 was a hack. Don't remember
if it said anything about betas, or not.
Good luck to all with Windows..... I changed to OS/2 and am
EXTREMELY happy with the multitasking (true multi..bytheway).
Take care.
