In particular, if I can offload some of the interrupt loads that I typically deal with onto smart cards, I could stop burning horsepower on trivial applications (386DX/40's as PPP routers, bah!) Not that I *really* mind, but it seems to me like 16[45]50 serial ports are in the same class of peripheral as IDE: undesirable. :-) If somebody can write a driver that actually exploits the abilities of the Digi intelligent hardware to offload some of the interrupts and processing onto the controller, they have _my_ vote! ;-) ...
