hello all .. i didn't know if -questions -hardware or -isp would be the apropriate forum for this question, so in the confusion i posted it here in -questions. i've recently aquired a very old "Acer" derivide pentium (p5) 90 mhz with a 4 port serial card. it is a stb 4 port using st16880(??) - startech uart, it can run at about 230 kbits/sec, i believe. my problem is that i have no documentation for this card and would like to use it in my freebsd v2.2.7-release (soon to be v2.2.8-release) network gateway machine. i believe it is possible to use the serial ports via a single interupt. i recieved the machine (and serial card) as a working ms windows 95 converted ms dos (fidonet) bulletin board. it works well in ms dos mode and ms win 95 .. but, i would like to be able to run the card in freebsd .. if i could discover the jumpering information to convert it from its current 4 ports on four irqs. any assistance would be greatly apreciated. with thanks regards jonathan -- =============================================================================== Jonathan Michaels PO Box 144, Rosebery, NSW 1445 Australia ===========================================================<jon@caamora.com.au> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
