How are your serial ports configured?  You do realize that you can only
have one serial line per interrupt don't you?  This is because unlink
DOS you can have multiple processes each accessing the separate
serial lines, while under DOS only one line is accessed at a time.

Do you have two serial lines (COM2 and COM4) both using IRQ3?
