- Com1 IRQ4, Com2 IRQ3, Com3 IRQ5 and Com4 IRQ7.. It can be done,
- and it WILL work (as long as you don't have braindead software). Even if
- you have other devices using those IRQs you can share them as long as you
- don't plan on using both devices at the same time. That being said, I
- really wouldn't recommend this. A multiport serial card with 4 external
- modems is a much better solution IMO.
