First of all and most important is keeping the IRQ's correct and
unique. You may use COM3 for packet ONLY if it is on a unique
IRQ. Normally, COM1 and COM3 share IRQ4. If there is something
on COM1, you cannot use it at the same time as COM3 (packet) if
they share a single IRQ.
Next, you need to load COMTSRx for each COM port where "x" is the
COM port number. The command COMTSR2 -b4800 will set the radio
port of COM2 to 4800 baud. I think typing COMTSR2 -h will display
the command line parameters.
Then you need to set the radio and packet ports in CT when it is
started.
That's about all there is to it.
