Trying to write a Digiboard driver I searched for some prototypes
(this is my first experience in writing BSD drivers). And I found
a great thing:

   BSDI uses a freeware driver for Specialix card !

So we're able it too (after minor modifications) ! So if you don't know
what intelligent multiplexer to buy, buy Specialix. It _nearly_ has a driver
for FreeBSD and it's the best intelligent multiplexer I saw (including
Digiboard, Longshine, King Card, and, probably any card based on the
same chipset as Longshine and King Card - for example Boca's chipset has very
like exterior and probably is the same). BTW, never buy Longshine, it's
a sack of bugs. I wrote a driver for sVr3 for LCS-8683 two years
ago and I had a lot of problems in avoiding card's bugs in driver.

All this doesn't means that I'll stop the work on Digiboard driver.
