But that required to disable my mouse, which meant working Windows with keyboard only. Anyway, I have everything working now. YES! I forgot all about the BIOS. The last time I looked at it was over a year ago. Both serial ports were working correctly anyway. But I found this little option in a Plug and Play Configuration section, where it says "Boot with PnP OS" and gives an option for "Windows 95". I've selected that and now Windows has shifted my internal modem to IRQ 12, leaving 3 and 4 for both the com ports. Thanks for the prompt, Nick. -- jc
