I gave starting up COM3 a pretty good try, and it didn't go.
I didn't lose sleep over it or anything, but it's bugged me
ever since.

Question: Has anybody had any success with this?  What interrupt
	  did you use for COM3?  Anybody done it on a PC-Designs ET286i
	  (My hardware configuration, it happens to have 3 RS232's
	  on the motherboard)
