A friend of mine (donal@brewich.com) had bought one of SIIGs 4 port cards
and we could never get the darn thing to work properly.  No matter what
we did, never could get it above 57600 with out it barfing on us:(  
Plus, we could never get more than 2 ports to work either.  This is
with 16550 UARTs.

We have since went to UseNet II serial boards.
