SITUATION
Multiple programs need to access the same serial communications port in Windows95.
I used the "Microsoft Comm Control 6.0" object in my code.

PROBLEM
In each program, I open the port, send a command and receive an answer, then close the port. After repeated occurences (over 13000), here is what happens :
- the system slows down as though its running out of ressources or CPU time,
- the clock is almost stopped (sometimes hours behind),
- the free memory is down about 10% and
- the mouse is freezing up here and there.

QUESTION
Does anyone have any solutions to this problem?
