486 bad com port

[chucklesn]

This ought to tax the memory for you old guys!!

I have a 486/66 hz motherboard with 2 com ports that I'm running DOS 6.22 on.  Yeah, I know it's a dinosaur, but I need it to for some DOS-based software.

Anyway, one of the com ports (com 1) has gone bad, but I only need one!

I seem to remember a command that you can put in either the autoexec.bat or config.sys that will switch com ports.  It's something like:

Com 1 = Com 2
or
Com 2 = Com 1

but I can't remember the exact syntax or where to put it!

Help!!  Remember the Com 1 is BAD and the COM 2 is GOOD!

Thanks!

You could try the mode command.

I'd stay up, but it's after supper and I really need some sleep.
