Hi, I have a temperature / humidity sensor that sends frequency modulated data to the com port. The program collecting them runs under DOS (up to Win98). I can run two DOS Windows with two sensors without any problems from within Win98. Migrating to WinXP, I have tried to emulate DOS with DOSBox, VirtualPC, and VMWare but in all cases the data are wrogly interpreted in that the values are unreliable. This appears to be a timing problem. Does anybody know whether DOSEmu under Linux would do the job correctly? I am a LINUX beginner and would only try it when there is a good chance of success..... Thanks a lot for hints, Dieter ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dieter Blaas, Max F. Perutz Laboratories Medical University of Vienna, Inst. Med.
