  Is there any chance you have a COM4 port in this machine?  Many S3
chips include emulation of the IBM 8514/A adapter, and this conflicts
with the "industry standard" COM4 address range.  [IBM had chosen,
but not publicized, a different set of addresses for COM3-COM8 at the
time they designed the 8514/A.]

Win 95 does put the modem on Com 4... would that possibly be the conflict?
and if so, what do I do to fix it?
