Hello,

I am using an internal modem. As I do not want that it
conflicts with COM1: and COM2: I have configured the
modem to "use" COM3: with IRQ 5.

No problem under NT 4.0 as I can assign any IRQ to any
COMx. But Windows 95 does not allow me to use IRQ 5 for
COM3 and insists that COM3: must use IRQ 3 or 4.

I hope that the restriction is only due to the GUI, and that
I can (maybe in an ini file) configure the IRQ to COM3:
according to my needs.

Bye
Wolfgang

COM3: using IRQ 5
