It sounds like you have only one com port hooked up. Look in your system's
configuration files (click on the "settings" icon in the control panel) and
see whether it identifies mulitiple com ports (ie. com1, 2,3 or 4). Also
look to see if the IRQ settings, both on the card and in the Win 3.1
software, are set up correctly. In your case you should probably have Com1
(which is usually used by the mouse) and a com2 port. The IRQ settings
should be different from each other and not already taken up by another
device such as a modem. If you can complete this, there should be no reason
why it does not work.
