	I have read the FAQ and I have seen this conversation before.

	The problem with multiple and simultaneous use of more than two
	com ports is obviously because only IRQ3 and IRQ4 are supported
	by most devices.

	However, some devices allow you to set the IRQ.  I have a
	modem that allows this.  So...I set my modem to IRQ2 and
	changed the system.ini file appropriately.  But Windows 
	crashes (i.e. exits to DOS) as soon as I open that
	communications port.

	So, MY QUESTION !!!

	If I can set the IRQ for a particular device, Can I Get Windows
	to Support more than TWO com ports simultaneously ???

	Or do I have to wait for 3.1

	Thanks...Regards |(8>
