- In short, yes at least two modems should be possible, and likely four. But
- four will depend on your software. Com1 and Com 2 should be absolutely no
- problem.

- Do you have a serial mouse? If so this would likely be Com1. Worst case,
- buy a busmouse and assign it to say, IRQ12. Com1 could then be one modem
- on IRQ4, and Com2 could be the second on IRQ3. This can often be done with
- the modems on different IRQ's but some software doesn't know about anything
- else but IRQ 4 and IRQ3. Also I've been told never to skip a comm assignment.
- That is never assign Com4 without something on Com3. I'm not sure I believe
- this, but it is plausible.
