     Hello, I have read through the FAQs and manpages but still am finding
problems recognizing my serial ports. So far, I have Com 1 and 2 being
recognized upon bootup, but both 3 and 4 are being ignored.  I have used
dos's msd program to find the proper ports and irqs, but still have had no
luck.  Once, for some odd reason, com 3 was recognized, but in exchange, 
com 1 was not. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution? Thanks.

PS: This is NOT a multiport serial card, or anything bizzare like that.
