I've perhaps jumped in over my head: building machine and installing NT
on it.  A great learning experience, kinda like pounding your thumb with
a hammer.

Presently having com port problems.  NT seems to see only COM 1, which
has mouse, so can't install modem.  Have put (in BIOS) COM2 on both auto
and disabled, to no avail.  Manufacturer of modem (Viking) has been of
no help.

Much obliged to anyone who might be able to lend me a hand.
