The best "suspect" here is WIN95 task dispatching. From hunting around, I am going to try a test that minimizes both windows (or possibly that selects the 1st window after firing up the 2nd application and see what difference it makes. More later.

IO Networks believe that they are not the cause of this problem. One test that I ran this morning was to run the code outside of VB5, i.e. by clicking on the shortcut twice and using COM10 on one and COM12 on the other. In this test, COM12 was NOT any faster than COM10 in initializing. Seems...

I have an application that uses serial ports (via an IO Networks Edgeport/4 4-port serial hub) to talk to HF radios. If I run my application as 2 instances (either in VB or as .EXE files) and direct one appl. to talk to COM10 and the 2nd one to talk to COM12 and if I start the one that talks to...
