The reason for this is because a computer only really has two COM
ports 1/3 and 2/4 share the same IRQ address no matter what like you
said in the message my advice was if you have a decent modem you
should be able to change the IRQ setting on it (Through the jumpers).
The USRobotics modem I have allows this. Hope I was of some help
