The problem I had was the fact that my physical COM1 was disabled because of my modem. I now have COM1 enabled and the Net Yaroze is on COM1, the Modem is on COM3 (I just can't use the modem at the same time and the Yaroze, but then again, why would i need to?), and my mouse is on COM2. I'm not sure about the IRQ's, but I'll check when I get home. Sean.
