You simply replace the COM.SYS and VCOM.SYS lines with the SIO drivers; the
parameters are optional, necessary only with non-standard serial ports and
IRQs.  The "-" allows COM port sharing under MDOS, but I don't
run any DOS comms apps anyway, so it's unnecessary here.

I personally think that the MODE statement is far more important, and can
be run transaprently at boot-up as a detached process from your config.sys
by prefixing it with "RUN=" (as in RUN=MODE [parameters] etc).
