 JR>   I'm trying to run Maximus under OS/2, but continue to 
 JR> have problems.  Some of the Door games work, such as 
 JR> tw2002, LORD, and Usurper, but others keep causing OS/2 
 JR> to give a COM1 not available error.  Under DOS no 
 JR> problem, but games such as Forces of Darkness, Lunatix, 
 JR> and Clans will not work at all.  Has anyone else had 
 JR> this problem and been able to fix it.  I'd like to use 
 JR> OS/2, but am about ready to give up on it.
 JR>   My modem is on COM4, and my mouse is on COM1.
I had the same problem. Since lunatix finds the modem all by itself (if you 
keep clicking on Ignore then it will go through Com1, com2, com3, then find 
it on com4), there's no way for me to fix it, so it's no longer on the bbs. I 
didn't realize Clans did it too, that's too bad, i thought that that looked 
like a good interbbs game (i don't think i've set it up yet tho)
