The basic rule of not having IRQ conflicts still applies no matter what kind of serial device you end up with, pci, usb to serial, etc... In your example, your have two devices using IRQ9. No wonder it doesn't work. Find another IRQ to assign to the comport that you have your TNC using and you will probably clear up the problem.
A lot of folks seem to be of the impression that just because they can get six or eight or whatever number of comports by using various devices, that they can actually use all of them at the same time. That's never been true in Windows and while you can get away with this in some cases, most of the time you cannot. On our machine here, we have an Officejet printer and a CDROM writer. We cannot use both of them at the same time even though they are on different ports. We have to disable one of them when we want to use the other.
