Yes, but this would only be the case if his serial card had some sort of jumper
to the motherboard (like the Mountain card), which would allow the card to intercept
calls to other slots and use them as "phantom slots".

BTW, does your Mountain card work for serial transfer?  I can't get mine to run at
higher than 600 baud, no matter what I do.  And I have the manual and software.
