Manny,

Serial ports usually come in pairs. The second port on your board may
have been disabled when the internal modem was installed. If you have
the manual for your serial card (or motherboard) you should be able to
set the port up as com4. If the port is on your motherboard, you
should be able to enable it in SETUP.
