That's all well and good if you're using WINDOWS software, but it WON'T 
work for CT running under DOS (which is the only SUPPORTED way to run 
CT).  CT requires separate interrupts for each COM port, the only exception 
being the DigiBoard, which has a special driver included with CT to support 
it.  I suspect that these other IRQ-sharing boards would also require some 
sort of driver TSR to work with CT.
