I plan on using both modems at the same time. One for node one of my BBS, and 
another for node 2 of my BBS.
My computer doesn't support a COM3. Only a COM4. Is there any way to set it 
up this way? You mentioned set the IRQ to 5 on one. I think that may 
interfere with my SCSI card, cause its IRQ is set on 5.
Got any other suggestions maybe?
Thanks!
