I have had 6 COM ports active in Win 95.  IRQ's 4,3,2,5,7,11.  Ran out
of time
and initiative, but not IRQ's or I/O addresses.  The boards that I have
are 
two COM ports with DIP addressable I/O address and available IRQ
jumpers for 
2,3,4,5,6,7,10,11,12,14,15.  Real flexible.  UART is 16450 - can't run 
much over 9600 baud, but then again, neither can I.

Suppose I could part with a few of them in very late Dec, or after the
first 
of the year.  Probably have 25 or 30 of them left.  Will be in C6A for
a week 
surrounding CQWWCW and then on the road out of town doing company stuff
till 
Christmas.
