I also urgently need extra serial ports on two new machines and have only PCI slots to put them in. I found a 4 port serial card from PC COM but it's not recognized at all by FreeBSD 4.3. I'm willing to spend a couple of days trying to get them to work if there's any chance getting it to work reliably. But I have never played with drivers for PCI cards. I've read the serial port source thoroughly some 8 years ago or so and have done many C programming projects over the last 17 years but I've no clue where to start getting this serial port to work. There is source for a Linux driver available however. Regards, Paul Schenkeveld To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
