You also need one sioX line for each serial port. ONly the last gets the IRQ though. I am not sure about the correctness of this value for flags. You nned to check either the sio(4) manpage or the FreeBSD Handbook (www.freebsd.org) to double check this. Here is what I use for my ATIO66 (Boca 6 port): # IO_COM4 cannot be used because I have an S3/#9 graphics board that uses # this I/O port range. options COM_MULTIPORT options "IO_COM5=0x3e0" options "IO_COM6=0x2e0" device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty flags 0x505 vector siointr device sio1 at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty flags 0x505 vector siointr device sio2 at isa? port "IO_COM3" tty flags 0x505 vector siointr device sio3 at isa? port 0x248 tty flags 0x505 vector siointr device sio4 at isa? port "IO_COM5" tty flags 0x505 vector siointr device sio5 at isa? port "IO_COM6" tty irq 4 flags 0x505 vector siointr BTW, I hope you are using this for a dial-out lines only. If my recollection is correct the 8-port card does not have the ring (RI) signal line, which is what FreeBSD uses to detect when the modem line is ringing. In don't believe anyone ever added the ability to look for the "RING" text string. I could be wrong though; I haven't looked at this in a long time. cheers, Adrian -- adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| If I were stranded on a desert island, and System Administrator --->>>| I could only have one OS for my computer, Neurosurgical Visualzation Lab -->>| it would be FreeBSD.
