Can someone explain to me why the old IBM serial ports
won't work as COM2?

I've got two of them and they both work if they are setup as com1
and the other is not in the machine.  But after flipping the
selection jumpers to set it as com2, it refuses to work...period.

I don't have the documentation for them, but since the jumpers are
so simple to switch, a two year old should be able to set it up
correctly (or am I overlooking something??)

If you have been able to get a similar set working, please E-Mail
me (don't post it to the net, there's enough traffic there.)
