[time-nuts] Does the Thunderbolt have to be connected to a real serial port?

'Lady Heather's' Thunderbolt control software 
(where does the name come from?) does work quite 
well under Windows XP even via Ethernet cable and 
an Ethernet to RS232 converter and a virtual com port!
Both ways are running, DOS Window and graphical 
Windows. 
It is important to set the right com port number option 
and having Thunderbolt connected and running. 
If not I get:

CreateFile error: Port unavailable or in use 
(i) Access denied [ok]

Many thanks to the developers!

Arnold, DK2WT
