- You should be able to use com3 with the solution given in the FAQ (it
- was just posted here).
-
- However, some machines, including mine, will not recognize com3 properly.
- Several solutions have been proposed; mine involved using the com16450
- driver (a driver originally designed to bring com3 to os2 1.x). Look
- for recent posts on the subject. com16450.sys is at ftp-os2.nmsu.edu
- in pub/os2/1.x/drivers, I believe. Others have suggested solutions that
- might be better than the com16450 driver.
