COM ports only go up to 115K, you might try using TameDOS to resolve
your issue with running "dos programs"

Oh my mistake.
Not the baudrate is the problem (is only 9.600).

The time to send or recive a telegram is the problem
(Telegramm lnength:64 -> XP-time: 1.1s -- DOS-/Win98-time: 0.2s!!)

The program "DosBox" (freeware http://sourceforge.net/projects/dosbox/)
handels the com-port is handelt well
but not the clock (after 23:59:59 > 24:00:00 >> 24:01:00 ...)

"Kithara »DOS Enabler«" (ca 180,- EUR/PC http://www.kithara.de/) handels both.


Is ther a way with "windows-onbord-metods"?

The "DOS based" programs are not always going to work as expected in the
Multitasking environment without some 3rd party software.

There's a patch for DosBox to handle the rollover to the next day. Ask
on the VOGONS forum.
