  47. Do you have a video card with an S3 chipset? If so, I've attached an 
  48. article I picked up on the Web. It's about a conflict with com4 but I also 
  49. experienced the same problem with com2.
  50.  
  51. Sorry but I didn't get all of the question. I'm answering a "re:...". I am 
  52. assuming you have an external modem. My only solution was to go with an 
  53. internal modem on com 2.
