Since the above addresses BOUNCE from my machine I am posting this here:

Tom -
I just downloaded your BBS system from the net and would love to give it
a try. Unfortunately my modem (Hayes compatable 2400 baud) is connected to
COM port 3. (There are jumpers to choose COM 1-4). Since it is an internal
modem I prefer to keep my external ports available for MOUSE and other items.

Is it possible to make an adjustment to your system to support ports other
that COM 1 and COM 2?

I have a quicky program that loads the correct port addresses into BIOS RAM 
tables so you would only have to look there for addresses?

Thanks in advance for any help
