[comp.sys.misc] Serial ports on a NOVAS super turbo 286 motherboard

Help!  I have a Novas 286 super turbo system motherboard with 4 serial ports 
and can not currently use port 3 or 4. Norton SI and PC tools report that the 
system only has two serial ports. Calling the company from which I 
purchased motherboard was no help.  The only thing that they knew about serial
ports, was how much to charge for them.  In fact, they ask me to send them any
information that I could find on the serial ports.  Anyway, if anyone
has any information on using the serial ports on this motherboard, I would
appreciate getting it.  I am using "bitcom" communication software, which
allows the users to pick COM1, COM2, COM3 or COM4.   Since I have a mouse on
serial port1 and scanner on serial port2, being able to use a modem on a
different port would be very convenient.  

Please mail the information, comments or question to either of my email
addresses.

I hope that someday I can use the serial ports that I paid for !!!!.
