"this" being NTVDMx64? I liked it too, at least on Windows 10.

For some reason, all of your message text was intended with a the quote (" > ") prefix. Something is wrong with the method in which you're entering messages.

As for any message related to "Com 1", that means the program is trying to use the UART (and not FOSSIL) for communicating with the BBS client/user. Either configure the program to use FOSSIL/int14h instead, or change the setting in SCFG to use "UART" for the program's I/O method.

This is all documented pretty well:
