Use a serial card which is settable (most of them do) to other interrupt
such as IRQ 9 (if it is not already used by another I/O)

My comm port settings is as thus:

COM1 (3F8 IRQ 4) - MS Mouse
COM2 (2F8 IRQ 3) - Merz 33.6 Modem
COM3 (3E8 IRQ 9) - PicStart 16B1
COM4 (2E8 IRQ 3) - Motorola EVBU

So far it has worked OK except when I tried to run my modem and the EVBU
simultaneously...

Hope this helps,
