Hi,
you don't need to add the above lines. Com.sys device driver assigns
com1 and com2 by default to:
com1=(1,3f8,4)
com2=(2, 2f8,3)
You only need to use this parameters when you want to use more than 2
com ports. For example I use 3 ports so I had to make an entry
"DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\COM.SYS (4,2e8,3)" in config.sys to have support
for a modem as com4.
P.S. Even when you want to add more ports you just need to put the
ports as a next parameter like this:
..com.sys (4,2e8,3) (5,xxx,y) ...and so on. When you type the device
statement for a second time you simply install second device driver.
Sincerely,
