Check SIO's docs again and also look around on better OS/2-supporting BBSs for hint files on setting up doors. In short, with SIO your Config.Sys line normally looks something like this (an example for Com2): DEVICE=C:\SIO\SIO.SYS (COM2,2F8,IRQ3) To make it so you can share the comm ports and use DOS doors, add a '-', like this: DEVICE=C:\SIO\SIO.SYS (COM2,2F8,IRQ3,-) Hope it helps, .
