I've a wisp of a memory I may be correct.

 MM> For the actual COM port, you should have all four designations.

But there are only three and one's labeled "SEL".

You _can_ designate four COMs with two jumpers if that's how it's
setup. No jumpers COM 1, "0" jumper only COM 2, "1" jumper COM 3,
"0" and "1" jumpered COM 4.
I've only the three under the COM designation "0", "1"
and "SEL".

Seven jumpers only on the modem and four are labeled IRQ with
attending numbers.

It'll be a day or two before I get back to this.
