I now have two quad serial boards in my Win95 machine.  Each is
configured for sharing one IRQ.  The first is configured for com5-8 and
has RJ45 connectors.  The second is com9-12 and has DB15 and DB25
connectors.  This is very versatile and leaves com1-4 for modem etc.  I
particularly like the RJ45 connectors because they eliminate many
adaptors.  I can get web addresses if you need them.  Other people on
this list gave them to me.

Hey, not -so -techno-geek,

No suggestions, just sympathy. I'm trying to set up a machine with 4
com
ports.
Sounds simple enough to me, but I'm being told all kinds of things,
including
even if it's possible. I got 4 com ports in and functional only to get
my Zoom 28.8
Comstar tech to tell me it needs either com 3 or 4 to function
correctly. I have them currently
occupied. 
Does anyone have any insight or leads where I can get reliable info on
com ports?
How many can you have? Does an internal modem have to use 1-4?  I
tried
MicroSoft
but no answers. I realize these aren't ECS specific, but they are
crucial to it's function.

Thanks,

Carl K
