no I do not use a USB-to-Serial adapter. I have a RS232-to-Ethernet device server and it uses the ELTIMA driver.<br>

Thanks for the file with the screen shots.<br>

I assume you are using USB-to-Serial adapter instead of a "real" serial<br>
port. Run the Windows Device Manager (Start, Run, devmgmt.msc). Under<br>
Ports, select the WinKey COM Port, Right Click, Propeties, Driver tab.<br>
Does it say "Prolific"? If so, that is probably the cause. The<br>
Prolific USB-to-Serial adapters just don't work well at all.<br>
<br>
Maybe try a different USB-to-Serial adapter based on the FTDI chip set,<br>
or a real serial port via PC Card, ExpressCard, or PCI card, and the<br>
problem should go away.<br>

Hi Rob, hi Bob,<br>
<br>
thanks for your answers.<br>
<br>
First of all I got an email off-list from another WT user who also knows<br>
this problem. Also in his case it seems to be sporadic. He and also I am<br>
not totally sure that this problem is in WT problem or some other<br>
hardware issue.<br>
<br>
Rob, thanks for your hint with the Handshake-Lines. WT default seems to<br>
be RTS and DTR as handshake. The simple Winkey (serial interface) needs<br>
DTR high and RTS low to get powered (if I read the schematic correctly).<br>
Currently I am using the WT default setting. I will play around with<br>
these settings to see if that makes any difference.<br>
<br>
Bob, my current setting does not use a MK2 so no fottswitch or other<br>
PTT-signal. I will attach pictures with the Winkey settings to that<br>
e-mail and hope that they get through.<br>
<br>
