As the Irishman said when asked for directions: "If I were you, I wouldn't
start from here at all!"
I don't think it should be a setserial issue. That is decided in the bios,
surely. If you have a working com 1 and com 2, the lowest available option is
com 3. Motherboard ports are always numbered lower than cards - it's the
order things are checked for. Try disabling com 2 in the BIOS, (If possible)
whereupon it should be settable to com 2. Otherwise just take it on faith
that if it were in a pc with com 2 disabled or absent, yours could be set up
on com 2, whereas a winmodem could not. Which was what I tried to tell the
guy, who has probably lost interest long ago since he got his answer.
