The port95nt utility is supposed is be "plug'n play". It means you just 
have to start it. It will install system DLLs and such for direct 
hardware driving from WT. AFAIK (but I may be wrong), once installed, 
nothing more is required.

I suspect you will get a problem here because WT relies on "low" LPT 
addresses and may reject your E400 address. We will have to check that.
