This looks like the "EPPPD can't find the port that MINITERM was just using
problem" again.
There are 2 possible fixes:
1) In your Arachne.cfg file specify the actual base # instead of "default".
e.g. look for:
Port 4
Irq 3
Base 0x2e8 <----instead of Default for Port 4
For Port 3 use 0x3e8 and for Port 2 use 0x2f8.
I think a lot of trouble could be skipped if the value "Default" never existed.
2) If the above doesn't do the job, you may have to run a program called
"Comports" found at simtelnet in a file called 4ports4u.zip.
This program fills holes in the bios list of available ports. Run it every
time before Arachne.
Occasionally, a bigger hammer is required.
If problems persist, Glenn has the hammer.
