UnixWare really sucks rocks.  Take my word for it.

I've been doing some volunteer work for an organization that's using a
UnixWare system with a Stallion EIO Intelligent 8-port serial card.  Since
Novell's latest Unix product is so losing, we want to run something cheaper
and more capable on the system (like one of the BSD's, for example).

Whether or not this is totally workable is dependent on 386BSD/NetBSD's
ability to drive the Stallion card.

So, does anyone have any drivers for such a beast?

There are various hack solutions we can use in preference to the Stallion
card, but staying with it is much cleaner.

Thanks in advance,
