I have a question about using a COM port in Win98/Citrix Metaframe.
What I want to do:
I want to send a text string to a COM port.
My solution:
I create a textfile object named COM1:. As this is a reserved name it will send the data to the COM port.
My problem:
The information doesn't get to the COM port unless I first Start Hyperterminal
Open communications to COM1:
Close hyperterminal
I only have to do this once.
Once I've done this it works just fine.
Of course when I've shut down the computer I have to start Hyperterminal, yadayadayada, again.
So why don't I use the Microsoft Comm Control:
This doesn't work well with Citrix as I can't close the port afterwards. This is probably a bug/incompatibility in the control.
Thanx department:
If someone has a solution I would be very gratefull.
