Hi, I am shopping for a multiport serial card for my freebsd box. I need the card to be able to hook up to modems for remote dial in and to other freebsd boxes thru NULL serial cable for kernel debugging. Is there a card simultaneously well suited for both these requirements? A recommended re-seller who has good prices? I looked at the Data Comm Warehouse site and they had 'CTRL CYBERPRO QUAD I/O 4PORT SERIAL CARD 16650UART' listed for $99.95. Haven't heard of this one in FreeBSD circles.... Cyclades lists its Cyclom-8Yo (8-port ISA) at $329. No 4-ports. It seems to be able to support full modem functionality. I would appreciate comments from anybody who has actually used these? Thanks. --rohit. PS: I have DB25 males at the back of my boxes. I am also looking for DB25 female to RJ45 female converters which could be put on the boxes make it possible to run RJ45 terminated serial cable between any 2 boxes. Recommendations for an outlet which stocks such things greatly appreciated.
