Yep, UKA_PPP *always* reports Com1 regardless of what Comport is actually  
being used. It's purely a cosmetic bug so don't take any notice of it.

OK but due to a hardware problem I'm experiencing at the moment, I can't  
get at any of my backups, so I'll have to work from memory.

I don't recall you saying what the problem is exactly. What actually  
happens if you set the baudrate higher than 19200 ?

Any particular reason why you changed this ?
