What port address are you using for COM3, and what IRQ number?  See the
SYSINI3.TXT file which came with Windows for info about what the default
values are.

Also, you didn't say what type of machine you're using.  The README files
don't say so, but the default values for COM3-COM8 are different in
a Microchannel machine.  If you're on a PC/2 the values given in the
.ADF file should be used to set up the Windows data.

Comm port addresses and IRQ numbers are specified in the [386enh] section
of SYSTEM.INI.
