|    I forgot how to read a com port    |

      From: T@invalid.invalid              Hi All,              I needed to test a com port with a loop back.              To write to the port, I used        echo xxxx > com1              To read the port, I opened another shell and        type < com1              Which did not work (syntax error). Poop, I forgot       how to do this. Does anyone remember how to do       this?              Many thanks,       -T              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
