(Please respond to this address directly.)

I have the following lines inserted in the kernel config:


options "COM_MULTIPORT"
...
device sio4 at isa? port 0x300 tty flags 0xb05
device sio5 at isa? port 0x308 tty flags 0xb05
device sio6 at isa? port 0x310 tty flags 0xb05
device sio7 at isa? port 0x318 tty flags 0xb05
device sio8 at isa? port 0x320 tty flags 0xb05
device sio9 at isa? port 0x328 tty flags 0xb05
device sio10 at isa? port 0x330 tty flags 0xb05
device sio11 at isa? port 0x338 tty flags 0xb05

I recompiled the kernel and rebooted. When the new kernel booted, sio4 
upto sio11 were found in their respective ports.

Then, I made a sequence of MAKEDEV. Now, I have devices 

	cuaa4 upto cuaab
	ttyd4 upto ttydb

Now, I tried to connect one modem to the BOCA board to test if the modem 
responds. I typed,

	echo at > /dev/ttyd4

and I saw no response. The modem's TR lights did not light up. I did this 
for all, from ttyd5 upto ttydb and to no luck, the modem's TR lights still 
did not light up.

What could be wrong here?

I hope I gave sufficient info with regard to this problem.

Thank you in advance.
