Changing the Com numbering of your Quattro-

PCI ports (Windows 95/98/Me only)

Unless you already have more than 4 Com ports installed in your PC,
Windows will by default configure the Quattro-PCI ports as Com 5
through Com 8. To change the Com number of any of these ports (e.g.
reassign Com 5 to be Com 3), please use the Lava Com Port Redirect
Utility included in the “Utils\Redirect“ subdirectory of your Installation
Diskette. Such a reassignment may be necessary because some
communications applications programs do not recognize port
designations beyond Com 4. The Com Port Redirect utility will allow
you to change the Com numbering of your ports

.

To install the Port Redirect Utility on your hard drive, insert the
Installation Diskette into your floppy drive, click Start, Run and type
A:\Utils\Redirect\Setup.
