I am a student at the University of Florida and at the beginning of the
semester I purchased a Z386/20.  I purchased an internal modem and 
installed it in my computer.  However to my dismay, I cannot run the
modem out of COM1 or COM2.  I am currently running it out of COM3.  This
causes some problems with some software that is exclusively written for
COM1 and COM2 ports.
 
I tried to change the interrupt channels for the modem but that did not
work.  My computer came packaged with Windows and a mouse and the mouse
runs on COM2.
 
I have not pursued this lately since this just came to my mind as I was 
reading news today.  If anyone has any ideas, drop me E-mail.
 
Thanx alot
