I have the normal I/O card with Com1 & 2 at the "stock" settings which work fine for the Mouse (Com1 and External Modem Com2) however, I have an Internal modem set for Com3 and IRQ5. WIN95 see's the modem on Com3 but can't access it because of the non- standard IRQ. How can I tell WIN95 to use COM3 and IRQ5? Thanks....

You will probably be able to see the difference in speed, but it's going to be 20-25% at best. Noticable, but not earth-shattering. What will also probably happen is you'll use the swapfile far less, and that's good for your HD. --- Platinum Xpress/386/Wildcat! v1.3e * Origin: FidoNet International Coordinator Emeritus, for life.
