Hi Larry,
I had problems [crashes] with the SIO2K on the eCS 1.1 installation CDs, 
until I realised that if I un-REMMED the line in the SIO2K-block that 
only mentioned C-A-D problems, it worked without any problems 
whatsoever.  I did this on every installation by editing the config.sys 
before the first reboot, by electing to use the management console, when 
offered as an option *during* the installation [i.e. not at the 
user-selected installation-menu ].

I have used the original SIO[1.60d] previously, ever since that was an 
option with Warp, including eCS 1.0 GA, as I had no success whatsoever 
with the SIO2K edition that came with eCS 1.0 GA, so used my own SIO 
there in lieu of com.sys.

Try the eCS 1.1-provided SIO2K with the following line activated :

DEVICE=?:\eCS\boot\unbhsio.sys

On several different motherboards I've *never* had a trap or lockup or 
any other comm port problem with the above configuration.

HTH
