I am trying to hook up a terminal to my computer.  I went out and bought
a 2 port com board so I can hook up com ports 2 and 3.

I realize that I can't use interrupt sharing, so in my config file I told
com2 to use irq 5, and then I set it up appropriatly on my com board.

I thought that was it, obviously it's not.  When I try and open /dev/com02,
I get a device not configured error.

I am currently running the stock com driver with all the latest patches,
for some reason I can't use cgd's driver with my internal modem. :(

If anyone can help, I would be eternally gratefull!!!

Thanks-
Josh.
