Hello there.

I have a doubt about serial ports IRQs.

Serial Ports are configurated according to the following table:

	FreeBSD	MS-DOS	io-address  MS-DOS's IRQ
	sio0	com1	0x3f8 		4
	sio1	com2	0x2f8		3
	sio2	com3	0x3e8		4
	sio3	com4	0x2e8		3

But using the same IRQ for ports 0 & 2  or 2 & 3 causes kernel
configuration utility displays:   "CONF" warning.

Can the interrupt service routines distinguish which port is requiring
attention if I give the configuration in the table to the serial ports ?

Do I have to specify a different IRQ level for each port ?

Thank you in advance.
