I have a COM3 question for the IBM PC.  IF I have a modem that 
can be configured as COM3 (a ZOOM internal) and I have software 
that supports COM3 (such as Procomm), can I use the modem in an 
IBM PC and run it as COM3 with no problems?  
 
It seems that previous talk I have heard is that "the IBM PC 
doesn't support anything other than COM1 or COM2." 
 
To be more specific, I have done this and it APPEARS to work.  
But am I headed for trouble down the road when I will least 
expect it?
 
Also, does anyone know if the AT&T 6300 PC will also support 
COM3?
 
Thanks...
