There is a program from ZDS that allows you to use the so-called
'COM3' port as an additional serial port.  I originally found this
on an Air Force BBS and it had some problems which I have since
found fixes for.  

Until the fix, the program was virtually useless since it could
only be used to make the Z-404 Multi-I/O serial port look like
COM1, thereby making the original COM1 port useless.  This is no
longer the case, the program will setup either a COM2 or COM3 port
that is accessible at the BIOS level. 

I have also added some much needed documentation to it and stuffed
all of this into one ARC file.  If anyone would like a copy, let
me know.

If there is enough interest, I will check into the possibility of
throwing the thing onto SIMTEL20 and maybe putting a copy back onto
the Air Force's Dial-A-Log BBS.
