COMM ports under OS/2

[Harmon F Seaver hseaver@xxxxxxxx]

  Sure, you can have two comm apps active under OS/2 -- if one, like ZOC
releases it. DOS comm apps also will be more considerate if you set
SIO_Share_Access_with_OS2 to yes. Hmmm, I don't know if there is a com.sys
equivalent to that -- been a long time since I used that. Anyway, I run ZOC
and ZFAX (ZyXel modem voicemail and fax app) that way. I have to quit Zfax
when I bring up ZOC from minimize, but I've used other OS/2 comm apps that
allowed you to release the port from one. ZOC does it automatically when you
minimize it.
