Default ACCEL EFI users?

Anyone using the ACCEL Gen 7 EFI system? My laptop has decided to no longer talk to my EFI computer. My guess is one of the many Windows "bug fixes" in the last couple years has changed something and although my USB-COM port adaptor still connects to the laptop it doesn't connect to the EFI computer anymore.

Do to the many other things running on the laptop COM 1-6 are already in use. I'm not sure if the ACCEL software recognises COM7. I'm going to try installing the latest version of Calmap which supposedly now supports their own special USB cable and see if that will make my old USB-COM adaptor work or if I need to buy one of their USB cables.

What is anyone else using that connects to the EFI computer, and what are your COM port settings. Last time I had it working it was 9600 baud, 7 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.

Thanks - Greg
