The device names for the first through fourth serial ports on your system are
COM1, COM2, COM3, and COM4. The default interrupt for COM1 and COM3
is IRQ4, and the default interrupt for COM2 and COM4 is IRQ3. Therefore, you
must be careful when configuring software that runs a serial device so that you
don't create an interrupt conflict.
config.sys file
The config.sys file is executed when you boot your system (before running any
commands in the autoexec.bat file). This start-up file contains commands that
specify which devices to install and which drivers to use. This file also contains
commands that determine how the operating system uses memory and
controls files.
