*Note to Sysops (or others) using multiple Comports)* ----------------------------------------------------- When Courier starts, if no Courier.Cfg file is found, Courier will default to Com:1, with standard address and IRQ settings. If you are running other communication sessions on Com:1, starting Courier without defining your settings could cause activities on Com:1 to be interrupted. If you are starting Courier for the first time, and an activity is in process on Com:1 (ie; a BBS sysop running multiple nodes) you may start Courier with the command line switch -O to prevent Courier from initializing the Comports. Ex: Courier -O Otherwise, simply execute Courier as you would any program. Be sure to fill in all information under the menu selection [Settings], on first start-up, for correct operation. First start-up -------------- When Courier first starts, it may try for up to 15 seconds to initialize the modem. If there is a long delay at first start-up, be patient, it will eventually give up (if problems) and give you a message pertainingg to the complications encountered. Simply proceed from there to the [Settings/Modem] section and fill in the proper information.
