If you are not sure what to set it at, use the MS-DOS command "msd" and check your IRQs, it will tell you what IRQ COM4 is at. Use this in your kernel config file. If you still have problems, enable debugging on that com port by setting "flags 0x0080" on the sio3 line. It will give a few more diagnostic messages during the probe (see the man page on sio). -Mark Taylor mtaylor@cybernet.com
