You can't have more than one serial port per IRQ line under the standard
serial driver.   The solution is to set com3 to use IRQ 2 or 5, or get
Chris Demitriou's com-multiport driver that supports sharing IRQ lines.

Warning: I could never get com-multiport to work with a 2-port serial card and
an internal modem--because mice dont like to share IRQ's...

  Hope this helps....
			Chris.


Question:  Has anyone got a driver that will drive a multi-IO card at IRQ 2&3
and an internal modem on 2or3 (it wont go anywhere else!!).
