I'm getting the following error

 SYS00000006: GetCommState()

when launching

 bt32 unattended

(the Win32 version of BinkleyTerm).

After loading the BT mailer screen and attempting to initialise the Com port the program exits.

In the log file:

 + 17 Aug 21:30:47 BINK begin, BinkleyTerm/Win32 Ver. 2.60
 ! 17 Aug 21:30:47 BINK No BOSS in the nodelist
 ! 17 Aug 21:30:52 BINK SYS00000006: GetCommState()

The documentation states,

 Note that on Windows 95, you can't get a Win32 BBS to run under
 BinkleyTerm with the standard command processor because comm port
 inheritance (the ability of one Win32 application to pass a ``hot''
 port to another Win32 application) doesn't work if there's a
 DOS app (like the command processor) in the way.  One way to use
 the Win32 BinkleyTerm to work on Windows 95 with a BBS is to
 install WinFOSSIL (a shareware driverwhich provides improved
 comm support), and use a DOS BBS.

But at this stage I am not running a BBS nor attempting to pass callers via spawnbbs.

Do I need WinFOSSIL to run BT/32 ?

Thanks !
