	In connection with Com ports, a friend with no access to this system asked me

Trying to run windows 3.1 with mouse on COM 1, IO card having COM2 also on it, and the
modem set to com3 (as windows refuses to see anything on com4).

However both COM1 (mouse) Com3 (modem) share the same IRQ (13?) so when you use the 
modem it locks up the mouse - andat the same time messes up the operation of the
modem!

What he would like to know is, will the COM EXTENSION KIT for WINDOWS solve this
problem, or is there another way around this.

	Thankyou,

		Graeme
