If Maximus goes into local mode, you probably have an error in your batch
file, since it should either work fine or report an error and then quit,
but not ever go into local mode. Check your batch file for the parameters
passed on to Max and see if there is a problem somewhere.

With COM/IP and Max you MUST use WinFOSSIL in order for it to work with
Maximus, since the DOS FOSSIL drivers use the port hardware directly.

Why do you insist on using Argus? Why not use Xenia/DOS or Bink/W32? They
both work fine with Win95 (I've used both my self and am using Xenia now)
and using COM/IP and WinFOSSIL they will both also poll nicely over the
internet.
