Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I've not read this group before...

I have a PC with 2 serial ports on the motherboard, and a 
2400 bps modem (internal).

My current setup is :

Com1 (9pin)	-	Mouse driver
COM2 (25)	-	disabled (in the CMOS setup)
Modem		-	COM2

I'd like to be able to use the 25 pin COM2, plus use the internal 2400 modem.

I FTP a lot of files for my old commodore stuff, and would rather use the 
25 pin serial to transfer to it rather than linking the two systems via modem
(which I have done).

The internal modem can be set to com1 thru com4.  The two built in ports are
fixed at com1 and com2.

Any suggestions?
