Hmmmm. I'm using 4 individual interrupt ports COM1-COM4 and a 4-port AST
clone at IRQ 10. I haven't tried using two 4 port cards. Remember to make
sure your flags in the kernel config file point to the right interrupt.

Email me at peter@taronga.com with your config info and I'll take a dekko
at it.
