I have been using a small program for a long time. It is just 14K size and
runs under DOS. You just invoke it with com port number and baudrate (Ej:
START 2 9600  for COM2 9600bps).

I'm sending you the program directly. If anyone in the list is interested
just drop me a message directly and will answer back with the START.EXE
attached.
