- disable com1 or com2 on the motherboard and install the modem as either
- comport 1 , irq 4 or comport 2, irq3 and it should work just fine. you
- can probably config it for comport 3 or 4 but only if it has a different
- irq then irq3 or irq4, if you use the standard irq's for com4 [which is
- irq3or4] you will have a port conflict and one or the other ports will not
- work. also certain video cards, especially S3 ones such as diamound,
- orchid fahr's take up com4 for video acceleration and that would be
- the reason certain computers cannot use modems on com4.
