Does anyone know of a way to use three serial ports at once on a
386-class machine?  I'd like to have a serial mouse, a modem, and a
zero-slot LAN all at once, but as far as I know it's not possible,
because com1 and com3, and com2 and com4, share IRQ lines.

Any suggestions, short of buying a multi-port smart serial card for
$500, will be greatly appreciated.
