You can have as many ports as you like but for standard com1-4 serial, they each must be on a different int and io. For the builtin ports you should go into the BIOS (F10 on the Compaq?) and check / set the ports to your liking. Then for any ports that are non standard (Int 5 etc.), you would use setserial on bootup. It would be easier to put com1-2 back to defaults and use one for the modem. I have a Compaq with external modems on com1 & 2, and then an internal modem set to com3/Int 5. Works fine. Quoting Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Thanks Don > That makes sense to me.
