Hi Martin,

When you installed RC2 - did you notice whether the selection for 
PCI-COM ports was selected - you have to open that particular tree on 
the serial devices on the selections menu - I always open _every_ one of 
those little "+' tree-expanders, to make sure I haven't missed 
including/excluding something!
What config.sys entries do you have for *com.sys?
Do you need to specify the actual IRQs-I/O ports individually on the COM 
drivers in config.sys?

HTH

Regards,
Mike
