Hi Joe,

First, WinKey can only be used by one program at a time -- COM ports
can not be shared.  Is it connected to a USB port on your computer,
with a virtual COM port created by the USB driver, or do you have a
real serial COM port between the computer and the WinKey?

Your setup looks and sounds correct.  I can't see my exact setup at
home, but it's working fine for me.  I'll try to remember to check my
settings when I get home.

- Jim
