What have you changed on your computer? My guess is that you messed up the com port somehow. Did you install any other
device or program that uses the com1 port?

you mentioned Windows 98. Are you starting the machine in SAFE MODE COMMAND PROMPT ONLY? If not, than this may be the cause of your problems. Ideally, you should be booting from a real DOS boot diskette or CD-ROM not any version of Windows.
