How make sialup line use COM3 instead of COM1?

I installed an infra-red dongle and used it to access my mobile
phones. I think their softare has taken up COM port 1 and 3.

My modem card is assignd to COM3.

When I created a dialler (or whetevr it is called) to communicate
with my ISP I find that it is assigned to COM1. But I need COM3.

How can I correct this?

Change your Modem to Com5 in Control Panel>Phone and Modem>
Modems tab>Properties>Advanced tab>Advanced port settings.

Why did you choose COM5? Does COM5 map onto COM1?

I am stuck with a dialler that uses COM1 at the moment until I
know how to change it.
