If you're having problems getting your HB to work on one serial port
but it works on another, you might want to check for IRQ conflicts.
By default, Com1 and Com3 both are assigned IRQ3, and Com2 & Com4 are
both assigned IRQ4. So if you have a modem on Com4 using IRQ4, you
may well have problems if you start trying to use Com2 if it's also
using IRQ4. I just went through this getting my plug-and-play
modem to work under Linux.
If you're using Windows, go to the Control Panel and bring up the
System window and check your serial devices to see what IRQs
they're using. Under linux you can look at /proc/interrupts to see
what IRQs are being used by what.
