- Hi,
-
- Well, how about a tougher requirement:
-
- I've tried using a modem on COM4, while trying to retain COM2 for
- sporadic usage (backup of my palmtop PC), NOT CONCURRENTLY, but this
- doesn't work.
- Is there any theoretical reason why this doen't work (i.e modem on
- COM4 or other serial device on COM2, NOT active at the same time)?
- I have the same problem of limited IRQ options for my Best Data 14.4
- modem.
