This one was easy - I am just online with "Port 0". But I am starting to be confused, what is really _standard_ COM4 to be defined like. Clarence says it is Irq 5/0x3f8, while the library I am using insists it is Irq 3/0x2f8; old version of Arachne was completely wrong, expecting that COM3 is Irq 5/0x2e8 (which explains why so many COM4 users were experiencing problems....). Currently, I defined COM4 to be Irq 5/0x3f8, as Clarence Verge suggested... but I am not sure if this is really the most prefered value. I will have to treat COM4 with non-standard parameters in MINITERM, because of that...

As you can see, *I* didn't suggest IRQ 5 OR 3f8, YOU did. <G> To be perfectly clear: Use COM4 Irq 3 Base 0x2e8 p.s. I'm confused about the email address.
