Hi...I have MS Windows XP installed on my Dell laptop. The built-in
modem is COM3, the serial port is COM1 and it's free...nothing attached. I'm
trying to access a linux server via this serial port
using Hyperterminal but when I try to use COM1, it tell me that "Another
program is using the selected Telephony Device. Try again after the other
program completes."

Can anyone tell me what could be making use of the COM1 port? I don't know
what to look for.

Thanks in advance for any comments.

Regards!

COM1 and COM3 share assets, HT may be "upset" because of that. Can you
use the BIOS to reassign that serial port to COM2? Or reassign the modem
to COM2 [which might require other tweaks elsewhere (in net connections)
to make the modem work again].
