Hi folks,
I have a 486 SX 33 with 2 serial ports an LPT1 8 Mb RAM
500Mb IDE drive Floppy VGA card a modem configured etc.

I wish to add a couple of extra serial ports...my tech man says 
simply put a another super I/O board in and disable the drive bits.
But he is unsure that it is that simple in FBsd UNIX. I know I'd have 
to re-build the KERNEL but is the hardware addition simply as he 
suggests?...any knowledge out there...Thanks
I wish to add some dial-in modems for my school teachers to get into 
our intranet
Bye...keep smiling
