Ed,
I was trying to run it in a DOS window using Windows XP. That was part of
the problem. Setting the 756 CIV transceive to "on" solved the first
problem. Booting up in DOS and running CT from there eliminated the second
problem.
Thanks for the help!

a non-standard or add on port, that the IRQ is defined properly.
