If you recall the *entire message*, the info on the four com ports "are
the defaults" under DOS. Those are the defaults that DOS uses unless
a manual change to the assignments are made. The data is correct as
typed!
I suggested for Marty to make adjustments according to what the hardware
piece already on COM2 uses, like using the same assigment for his modem
since both would be controlled by a hardware switch and they won't be
physically connected at the same time.     Herb.
