Sigh.  What's frustrating is this isn't the first person to ask this
question.  As I said in my post:

In case it was missed in the opening paragraph, I mentioned it again:

Fortunately, I finally found the problem.  My WD8003EB Ethernet Adapter
(not a PnP device) was conflicting on IRQ3.  Unplug the adapter, serial
port works fine.  Now I just have to find the docs for the adapter so I can
shove that off onto another IRQ...

Thanks to everyone who actually READ my post and sent me _constructive_
suggestions.
