- Well, you can do one of two things....
- i) Use the program called setserial to tell it what IRQ and Address
- your COM2 is set to
- ii) Modify /usr/src/linux/kernel/chr_drv/serial.c
- Near the top, you'll find a struct or something with all the hardcoded
- defaults for the com ports and their IRQs...Changing COM3's IRQ to 5
- works fine for me here, but if you don't have the source you can't do
- this, of course...

- Enjoy !
