You mean those 8 port cards with the funny cable ending in either 8 DB25 connectors or a breakout box? Digi<something>. I had 2 of them, but they had 16450 UARTS. On one, the UARTS were socketed, so the ones that had hi-speed modems got upgraded to 16550A's. They worked under Linux as well. I ended up scrapping 14 2400 baud modems. A couple of ports ended up connecting to another machine running "door" games. Funny thing - you could not reliably connect two of the ports together - they would drop data.# setserial /dev/ttyS0 /dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4 Looks good. Man, it's been awhile since back when I managed 4 modems each on two machines for my BBS. That route was cheaper than those specialty serial cards. Worked like a dream. Didn't have DvD's back theneither. Gonna try playing "Time Bandits" and send this email!
