	Dear IBM People,

	    I recently acquired an old NCR AT (286) clone and a modem.
	I am now trying to use the modem, but I have a problem. When I
	issue a mode command, the list that comes up contains the CON
	and the LPTxx, but there are no COMx listed.

	    Naturally, there were no manuals with this machine. It does
	contain a single card (other than the motherboard) that the
	disks are connected to. That card also has a 9-pin port and a
	25-pin port.

	    What am I missing here? Do I need to install the COMs
	myself? Help. Please respond via email as I cannot read this
	group. Thanks in advance.
