[comp.windows.ms] Com2 Freezes system

I recently got some equipment that'll let me have a constant line into the
local University Network.  I have it plugged into Com2 and it works fine
as long as I don't try to access it from Windows...(I'm using it right 
now.)
If I try to do anything with Com2 in Windows, the system hangs leaving only
my mouse to keep me company.  I have a 2400 modem on Com4 and it works fine.
My mouse is on Com1.  All the base addresses and IRQs are right, I think.
I've got a 486-33, Windows 3.00a, 8 megs of RAM and a Spire Eiffel ISA 
motherboard.  

Does anyone have any idea what is going on????

Thanks for any info and ideas....
