If Com 1 is currently available, _and_ you have a high speed (16550 or
equivalent) UART on it, you shouldn't have the slightest problem.

It's not evident whether or not you currently have a hardware com card or
not - you must to use an external modem.

Further fly in the possibilities - if you're using Com1 for a mouse, Com3
and Com4 tend to be rather nasty to work with, courtesy of MickySoft's
machinations.

LD> Any help or information offered would be most appreciated.

More information please, and no doubt you'll get several more, and more
detailed, bits of advice.
