I'm having a hard time getting telix to work with COM3 on my PS/2 386. COM1 and COM2 work, but COM3 just doesn't exist to telix. Com1 is on the mother board and Com2/Com3 are a dual async card. This is a real IBM card and it works with windows 3.0 terminal, kermit 3.01and the wincomm demo. In kermit I just use: set port 3 set baud 2400 and it works! Terminal and wincomm were even easier. Telix wants the base address and irq #, but I haven't been able to find a pair that works. The default 3e8 / 4 sure doesn't. I also tried 220 / 4 and 220 / 3. Somewhere I heard that the PS2 used 220 for the base address. What am I doing wrong? With debug I get: -d 40:00 0040:0000 F8 03 F8 02 20 32 00 00 - xx xx xx xx xx xx I did try 3220 / 4 as well. Nothing works. How is kermit working? Thanks, Mark

I use Telix version 3.12 (also Procomm Plus) on a 386 (not a PS/2!) with MsDos 3.30. I have my modem card in COM3, and it works. Some juggling of the IRQs was needed before getting every port 1-3 behave. ...................................................................

The problem probably lies in the settings of the IRQ lines for Com3 and Com4
in Telix. PS/2's have different IRQ lines than most (Everex stantard) are
set up for. The IRQ line for the PS/2 should be:
Com3 base 3220 IRQ 3
Com4 base 3228 IRQ 4
That should work. (I believe you tried 3220/4 oops...)
