No, this won't help.  I suspect his problem is that his modem on COM3
is set to use IRQ4, which is where COM1 lives.  He needs to change the
IRQ that the modem is using ON THE HARDWARE.  There should be a jumper
for this.  Switch it to IRQ2 (possible EGA conflict) or IRQ5 (LPT2
conflict).  Then tell Windows where COM3 lives, using the method
described above.
