Some doors on fast machines can be problematic... You have to "slow
down" the machine (virtually) for them to work at all.  On my system
(OS/2 [ECS2ga] the machine is a 2.6GHz machine.  I have to utilise
"slowdown.com" in the VDM that runs whichever door is
problematic, including my mail editor.  Here's a sample of the command line
to start the editor:

slowdown /x quikedit.exe /D:c:\max\%2\ /N:%2 /T:%3

Scott: Are you able to pass a "hot" comm port with XP so that a
door won't think you've just had a dropped carrier?

Best regards,
Marc
