My Bro-in-Law just got a AST 486DX 33 mhz computer.  It came with a internal
fax/modem and two com ports in the back.  The fax/modem was set to COM2 so the
COM2 port on the motherboard was disabled via the CMOS.  Well we don't want the
fax/modem, we want to use the COM2 port on the back of the machine, so we
removed the modem and then enabled COM2 in the CMOS setup, but nothing works
in the COM2 port at all.  We have tried a mouse and a mac-to-pc cable, but COM2
is dead!  (COM1 works fine for both) Is there any set-up that we don't know about?
The tech guy at Computer City didn't know anything (I had to tell him how to 
run the CMOS set up!)  I think that AST might just be crap because this is the
second machine we have had COM port problems with (the 1st machine we got 
neither COM port would work)  Any ideas?
