So the config program reserves space for com0 (not configured), com1 and com2. You have to configure your com devices as com0 and com1, but to do this, you either need my patches to the com driver (select bug) or one of the newer releases of cdg's com driver. I think you can configure you parallel port driver as lpt0 without any patches. Remember you also have to adjust the minor device numbers for /dev/com[12] or create /dev/com0 (better yet).
