		Yeah, I meant LPT3 not COM2.

	There are 2 parallel ports on my system, lpt0 and
	lpt1. I've got my printers on lpt0 and hope to 
	use lpt1 for a `laplink' connection between my two
	computers.

	I checked LINT and after I guessed that nothing would blow up
	if I tried to boot from a kernel built with only my sound driver`
	mods, I rebuilt and tried it.  Moved kernel to /kernel and 
	rebooted.  

	Everything worked.  No explosion; no smoke.

	By the time I found that in LINT, I was ~98% sure that 
	the system would come back after rebooting.  Then, minutes
	later it did.  


	All that remains is to install the newest rev of X, 3.1.2.
	That can wait!
