In attempting to put up a bbs under FreeBSD to test the software, I 
installed a second i/o card  (magic i/o)  set to offer com3 on irq 9 and 
com4 on irq5, and lpt0 on irq 7.  The bios seems to recognize them all 
perfectly, and the printer port is working under FreeBSD.  The problem 
is, that FreeBSD isn't recognizing either of the two com ports.

As it is, I have one modem and one mous (com1 and com2) running from 
another port, and really need to get at least one more com port running 
so that I can dial out while someone is using my bbs.

Any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thank you,
Christine
