My system has two 9-pin com ports.  When I attach a modem to COM1, it
works fine.  For example:

ATZ
OK

Wonderful.  I attach it to COM2, tell Procomm I'm on COM2, I get back
garbage, and when I type ATZ it comes out like this:

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttttttttttttzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

And it fails....is this a dead com port or is this just me?
