- I just obatined a Gateway Telepath modem from a coworker who decided that he
- didn't want it anymore. So, now I have two high speed modems. But, after
- reading the documentation, I discovered that the Telepath can be configured
- to use any of the 4 COM ports as IRQ5. So, what I was hoping to do is
- keep my current installation (Microsoft Mouse on COM1, IRQ4; modem on
- COM2, IRQ3) and run the Gateway on COM3 (or COM4) using IRQ5. Is this
- possible? If so, what changes (I'm sure there are some) would I need to
- make to the kernel? What else would I have to do to get this to happen?
-
- Thanks,
