Which model number exactly?  Old 8Yo boards have problems on some PCI
systems (the BIOS messes up their registers; Cyclades has hardware fixes
for this in newer models).  Some (all?) PCI boards are not supported by
FreeBSD (the registers are mapped in a different way...).

This may be a configuration problem.  Try using `cu -l /dev/cuac0'.  Use
`pstat -t' to look at the state of serial ports.
