Comm Port
Is there a way in BIOS to change the Comm Port for my modem? It is physically located in PCI slot #3. The computer shows #2. The machine is a Dell Pent. 111 using Windows ME with a Dell 4100 tower. Thanks, Jim.

The comm port for a PCI modem is set in the modem driver and usually it uses one that is not yet used by any other serial device in your system. If it says #2 in the description this means it was detected another time and as such you need to tell your dialup connection to use the newly detected modem.

What is the reason you need or want to move the COMM port?
Just to clarify -
Modem in PCI Slot #3.
COMM Port designation of the modem is COMM 2.
