In short, yes at least two modems should be possible, and likely four. But four will depend on your software. Com1 and Com 2 should be absolutely no problem. Do you have a serial mouse? If so this would likely be Com1. Worst case, buy a busmouse and assign it to say, IRQ12. Com1 could then be one modem on IRQ4, and Com2 could be the second on IRQ3. This can often be done with the modems on different IRQ's but some software doesn't know about anything else but IRQ 4 and IRQ3. Also I've been told never to skip a comm assignment. That is never assign Com4 without something on Com3. I'm not sure I believe this, but it is plausible. /---------------------------------------------------------- / Keith R.
