Right, I see that now. On first reading I thought you were saying IRQ
instead of IO.

I like to know why too, but I've been distracted from my real target too
long. Anyway, I did set the IO in sio2k.cfg and found that HyperAccess
works, but it takes a long, long time hanging up. InCharge dials, sends
and receives, but locks the system when hanging up. Something's
different between HyperAccess and InCharge communications code. For
now, I'll stay with com.sys (4,1400,5). But what problems will I
encounter when I install Faxworks.
