E6K software is DOS only. The problem is winXP runs dos programs through a sort of emulator and system resources like com ports are usually not available for these programs to access.
Easiest thing to do is make a boot diskette(or CD) with DOS on it. However, there may be some funky software out there that lets dos programs access com ports.
