<<Is there an update for Windows 95 to make COM3 and COM4 functionally
equivalent to COM1 and COM2 serial ports?>>
 
Could you clarify what this means? As far as I know, COM3/4 work just
fine; in fact, the machine I'm typing on is talking to CIS even as we
speak, using a modem configured as COM3 on IRQ 11. There is video
hardware out there that has a conflict with the standard COM4 I/O address
of 0x2E8 (ATI, S3, anything claiming 8514/A hardware compatibility), but
that's a hardware issue, unrelated to the OS.
