You : cannot use ordinary com ports with `shared' IRQs, you'll have to : assign distinct hardware lines for each port. Thank you for replying :) I checked the config file and I had indeed forgotten to change the IRQ's in the two lines above. When I edited them and recompiled it worked fine. I've now got all four com ports running, my bbs is online, and my only problem with it really, is letting people log in at speeds under 9600 (my ibm easy options 14.4 doesn't seem to like slow modems) I may have to write a modified getty to listen for the connect speed and reset to that to avoid speed buffering problems :( Christine
