<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
Im running the linux version of dx-spider under Mandrake
8.2.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have 4 com ports fitted, two on the motherboard
and two on an extra card. I can only get COM1 IRQ4 and COM2 IRQ3 working. I
have set COM3 as IRQ5 and COM4 as IRQ7 on the plugin board. Both of
these IRQ's are available, but linux is trying to use COM3 IRQ
4 and COM4 IRQ. Does any know how to change the com port irq's
within mandrake linux.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please note im new to linux, so please try to
give full details</FONT></DIV>
