welcome to windows ;)

i never managed to use three (let alone 4) com ports AT THE SAME time.
in addition i don't think it works at all with regular hardware. there
are special i/o boards though that are supposed to provide you with
more ( f.e. 8 ) ports but the price inhibited my interest ...

switch to lpt or use linux ;)
