Lincoln: Easiest way is to check which COM port they're assigned to. The next thing is to remember that COM1 and COM3 share interrupts and COM2 and COM4 do the say (on some if not most machines, that is). Basically, you can have 4 COMs, but you can really only access 2 at a time. And many of the serial devices need to be reinitialized if you use the conflicting device or COM port. Another way (I think) would be to use Manifest, which shipped with your QEMM386 package. It should list all of the interrupts available and what is assigned to them. Changing is another issue – depends on the hardware you've got. Some give the option to set to any COM port or interrups. Others don't. You'll need to talk to the manufacturer or a hardware guru like Evan Yares here on the forum for specifics on this one. Larry
