in reply to Windows serial I/O

I've used the Windows serial port drivers fairly extensively, and haven't run into this problem. Does this problem occur at other baud rates? And have you checked that you're running the latest version of Win32::SerialPort? I'm running under NT, which (IMHO) has better support than Win95/98.

I ran your code, and had no problems, trying a number of baud rates and reboot combinations (which takes a dang long time with 256MB of memory, and 4 SCSI devices on the chain...).

    Thanks for the reply and all your trouble to test my code! The problem only occurs at 115200 baud. Other baud rates, up to 38400 at least, show up in can_baud and are functional immediately after powerup. I do have the latest version of Win32::SerialPort, as well as Win32API::CommPort. I'm running under Win98. -Phil
