I doubt initialization strings make much difference in the lockup
problem. But did you see the recent discussuion here about how some
computer BIOS, when using standard QB com i/o routines will lock up when
the modem is on COM2 and it detects nothing on COM1? This is apparently
one of the things that has been causing ME problems. I missed the
original message with the solution but this code appears to have fixed
THAT problem....

DEF SEG = &H40
IF PEEK(2) + PEEK(3) = 0 THEN POKE 2, PEEK(0) : POKE 3, PEEK(1)
DEF SEG

After this open the "Com" normally.
