port <number> = <level>

The serial category defines all the serial ports available on the machine running GEOS. If a port is not defined in this category, GEOS will not recognize its existence. The single key in this category may be used numerous times, once for each available serial port.

The port key defines the hardware interrupt level for the specified port. The normal entries for the four base serial ports are shown in the examples below. If no value is specified, GEOS will try to generate an interrupt for the port and set the value itself. (It only checks levels three and four, though.) Note also that on an AT-class machine, level two for a card is actually level nine specified here.

port 1 = 4
port 2 = 3
port 3 = 4			; may not work if port 1 is in use
port 4 = 3			; may not work if port 2 is in use
