First alternative is to move your modem to either com1 or com2. Yes I know you may have a multifunction board which occupied these ports. But only your mouse is actually using one, the other one is usually idle. Look up your manual, you could possibly disable that port or move it to somewhere else. Your second choice is to reconfig your kernel and re-build the whole. You might be able to get helps from the net if you can't not do it for some reason, like not enough hard disk space. One thing to note is that you can't use com1 and com3 at the same time, as they share a common interupt. Same to com2/com4. - Edmond B. Xiao Play low from both hands! - School of Comp.
