[time-nuts] TBOLTMON Error Message

[Tom Van Baak]

I checked the TBoltmon files at http://leapsecond.com/pages/tbolt/ and they're fine.
Grab a new copy if you suspect something wrong on your end.

The usual reason that you get a com port error is that the port doesn't exist, or that it's beyond com16.
Does this old computer have native com ports or are you using a serial/USB adapter?
Look in the device manager (devmgmt.msc) to find the actual port number.

If you have a valid port number but you don't trust the serial adapter, jumper pins 2 and 3 and then use hyper terminal (hypertrm.exe) to see if the loopback works.
