HyperTerminal error

When I try to dial, I am getting the error that says another program is using the selected Telephony device.  I do ctrl-alt-del and end every task except Explorer, HyperTerminal new connection, and HyperTerminal itself, but I still get the same error message.  Any ideas?

I tried your suggestion and it didn't work, but since you
thought it was a configuration problem, I focused on that.
My ISP and my internal FAX are both on COM4, but
HyperTerminal was on COM3. I changed it to COM4 and it
works perfectly now.

Strangely, in the control panel, Windows told me that there
was nothing on COM4.  I had to check the applications
themselves.

Thanks, Castello


Sure. Have fun
