You would need to get the info about mode/port speed from the company that she works at. Those are serverside settings I believe. For com port, was there any special thing you needed to plug into the computer along with this program? Com ports are those big 32 pin I/O ports on the back of your comp.

It sounds as though this is a procomm type app to connect to a machine on her company network? Do you have any info on the tye of machine u are trying to get to?
This connection would have to be made over a modem, not your broadband connection to the internet (unless they have a vpn set up).
