I would be interested in knowing if version 6.02 solves this problem 
for you.  I will e-mail it to you in a separate message.  This version
has some improvements on how the serial ports are initialized and
perhaps it will solve the problem straight away.

However, I haven't really heard of this type of problem from anyone
previously, so you might be onto something new.  First off, the IRQ
isn't the problem as TR doesn't use them.  

If you still have problems, typing TR PORT and telling me what the
program sees for the address of COM4 would be interesting (this
feature was not in 5.99, so you will need the update first).  We 
can work from there if you still have the problem.
