I found how to free up the allocated, but unused COM ports and tried W32F on ports 4 and 5.  That works just fine so it shouldn't be a problem with com0com.  I can't figure why W32F would have an issue with multidigit COM ports, but I know that happens with older software.  Any idea how to fix this?
