I have a Panasonic Toughbook running XP Pro. My modem is set up on Com 5.
The problem I have is that I have some older software that only allows Com
ports 1 - 4. I looked in the bios and there is no way to change com ports.
I checked in device manager and I am able to change the modem to a different
com port but it shows that all the other com ports are 'in use'. How could
all of the com ports be in use??? How do I change the modem to a different
com port???
