I'm really not 100% sure where to even post this, but this looks to be as good as any. In my digging through the BASICA, QuickBASIC, GW-BASIC, etc. books, I never seem to be able to find any reference to a Com port other than 1 or 2; as in, OPEN "COM3:9600,N,8,1,RS,CS,DS,CD" AS #3. I know you can have hardware to address ports 3 and up, but is there some limit in those flavors of BASIC that only allowed for 2 Com ports? Either that, or I am overlooking something really 'basic' in BASIC......
