I guess I've spent too much time programming in DOS. :)

I get different results when trying com2 vs. com4 (COM2 exists in my system, 
COM4 doesn't).
Switching Telix's port to COM2 returns an immediate message of "Can't 
initialize COM2"; trying COM4 hangs the session.
I've double and triple checked the virtual port addresses and IRQs against 
Telix's settings, and also verified that Telix's session has access to 
COM2/4. Argh. This is a mystery.

'fraid not.
 #DC#> Also, can telix see com1 and use it correctly?
Yep.
