Aptiva - Serial port not recognized in MS-DOS Mode

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom: I cannot get my serial port seen in MS-DOS mode. All I can see is COM 1.

Solution: The Lucent or Rockwell Winmodem drivers do not load in MS-DOS mode. Because of this, the serial port takes on the ID of COM 1 unless there is another physical device on COM 1.
