Mario, you need to set up each COM port with a separate IRQ and I/O port
address.  Otherwise the system will not know what it is supposed to be
addressing.  You will have to configure each COM port using either the
jumpers on the hardware, the BIOS settings, or by using the W95 Plug and
Play (PnP) capabilities, or a combination of these depending on what kind
of hardware you are running.   PnP requires that the hardware (BIOS/MB,
cards) and the operating system be PnP capable.  Good Luck!  Larry
