	I am posting this looking for a solution to a problem I am having with
com ports in 386 mode.  When using terminal, I get the message that all com
ports are in use and I have to free one up before I can continue.  Also, in
control panel, only coms 1, 2, and 3 show up in the device contention window.


	I have a logitech serial mouse and a 2400bps internal modem in com 2
and 4 respectively, and I am sure that both operate outside of windows and
also in real or standard mode. These are the only serial devices I am using.

	I have tried reinstalling windows, my mouse and my modem, but I get
the same problems.  Has anybody else had these problems?  Any help would be
appreciated.
