Hi everybody!

I have to communicate under DOS on comports!!
So, I have the old FOX2.6DOS, but i never used this features. The two machines are installed correctly, I tested the phisical connection with Norton Commander, and the connection was good.
I used the following program schema to send a character string over the cable: (simplified)
Sender:
m.string="anything"
m.handle=fopen("COM2",12)
if (m.handle)>-1
m.count=fwrite(m.handle,m.string)
=fclose(m.handle)
endif

Acceptor:
m.handle=fopen("COM2",12)
if (m.handle)>-1
m.string=fread(m.handle)
=fclose(m.handle)
endif

I started the acceptor program first on the other machine. The port openings are always succesfull, the handle numbers are always positive. But on the sender machine at the fwrite() row, a system write error occurs, stating : Errror writing the port COM2
I issued the Mode Com2 9600,N,8,1 also all the two machines, but nothing changes.

Can someone help me?

TIA
