Serial Ports

Hi,

  I've got an OS/2 Warp 4 machine which has two serial ports on it.
I'm having great problems in trying to get OS2 to work with both.
Currently I can use Com1 but it doesn't see Com2. I've booted with a
dos boot disk and made sure both ports physically work.
  If I go into hardware manager within OS/2 it lists serial_1 and
Serial_0 controllers but they are listed on the same IRQ (3). I am
assuming this is the cause of the problem. I am unable to find a way
of changing the IRQ within OS/2. If I go into the properties of each
controller I only get the option to select IRQ 3. I have tried adding
two lines into the config.sys shown below:

C:\os2\boot\com.sys (1,2F8,3)
C:\os2\boot\com.sys (2,3F8,4)

but it just errors (didn't have much faith in the idea but it is
mention within help.

I would be most grateful if any one can tell me what I'm doing wrong..

Cheers

Mark
