What is SEEPORTS?
This simple program is a pop-up TSR that reports the current
settings of your serial ports ( baud rate, data bits, parity, etc ).
Since SEEPORTS is resident, it can be extremely useful if you are
debugging communications H/W or S/W, or if you are just curious
how your ports are getting set by such software. This TSR should
work fine with other well behaved TSRs, but you probably won't have
a reason to use it frequently (don't bother putting it in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT unless telecommunications is all you ever do).
To load the program just type the name, such as
C> SEEPORTS <return>
The HOT-KEYs that pop up the status display are ALT-1 (for COM1),
or ALT-2 (for COM2). If you have only COM1, then the ALT-2 hot-key
is ignored.
The status display is a simple one-line display at the very
top of the screen. It is self-explanatory. To remove the status line
and restore the original screen line, just press the same hot-key
again. You may also just let the status line scroll off the screen.
This utility is FREE. If you have an need to see COM3 or COM4,
or just want to comment, you can reach the authors at
