Multiport PCMCIA devices on XP????

[Maksim Chepel]

I have a device that is that acts as Multiport Communications Port.
Windows XP does not remember the Multiport Communications Port. With Windows
2000, you will only have to go through the process of setting up the device
as a Multiport Communications Port once. After that, you can take out the
device and put it back in any time and it will remember to recognize the
device as a Multiport Communications Port with the same settings. In Windows
XP, you will have to install and setup the Multiport Communications Port
every time you connect the device to the laptop.
This also includes every time the machine boots up with the card connected.
Not only that, but Windows XP will also use a different COM port every time
you install it because it thinks the previous COM port it was using is still
in use. You can manually change the COM port back to its previous value in
the Multiport Communications Port Properties.

How to work around this? Anybody knows?
Thanks a lot!
