Hi gang -

This has been covered before, but I just can't remember how to accomplish
this, so I'd appreciate some guidance.

I've got a 386 with a monochrome Hercules monitor (that chokes Arachne) and
3 megs or RAM that I am sprucing up to give away to a local charity or
school. It's got built-in Com1 & Com2 ports. The internal modem I am adding
is presently set for Com4, which works, but both Com2 (mouse) and Com4 are
using IRQ3, which can potentially cause some problems. It's a Supra Express
PNP 33.6 modem, so there are no jumpers to reset the Com port.

Is there an easy way to force the modem to use a different IRQ?

Since Arachne won't work on this machine, I'm installing Nettamer (along
with Geoworks 1.2) so it will have basic e-mail/newgroup/telnet functions.
Geoworks will give it a pretty good word processor with spelling checker and
a GUI.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Richard Burckhardt
