Hi, I plan on running a BBS / dial-in PPP server on a FreeBSD system next month, so I'm looking for a good multiport serial I/O card to connect a bunch of 28.8Kb USRobotics modems to. I've read the supported hardware list in the FAQ, but I still had a few questions: The Cyclades 8/16 port card is listed as "<Alpha>" in the FAQ. By looking at the -current source tree, I noticed considerable work has been done on the driver since 2.0.5 was released - will this driver be stable enough for general use by the 2.1 release? Is the alpha Digiboard driver usable? The only 16-port card not listed as alpha is the Boca card. Should I just go with Boca then? Any recommendations and/or guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks! Matt Day <mday@artisoft.com> PS: Please respond directly to mday@artisoft.com, because I'm not subscribed to the freebsd-questions list. If there's interest, I can post a summary of the responses I get.
