We tried with an 8$ board and our distributor told us it
couldn't be done.  Back to COM1 it was.  Most disappointing.

The problem we experienced, as I recall, was that the board did
not properly manipulate the DTR line (left it on all the time, I
believe) so that when the port was disabled, the modem still
answered the line.  This problem led me to ask other questions,
and that was when we discovered it would not work in/out at the
same port.
