I'd sent a email reply to the original poster earlier. There's no reason at all to use individual IRQs - not to mention it's physically impossible if you have two STB 4-Com cards (8 ports) in a system. Just use the following in the kernel config file and a single IRQ will be allocated to each card: # Two STB 4-Com boards com0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" flags 0x02000 com1 at isa? port "IO_COM2" flags 0x12000 com2 at isa? port "IO_COM3" flags 0x22000 com3 at isa? port "IO_COM4" flags 0x32000 com4 at isa? port 0x1f8 flags 0x01000 com5 at isa? port 0x2a8 flags 0x11000 com6 at isa? port 0x1e8 flags 0x21000 com7 at isa? port 0x1a8 flags 0x31000 See - that wasn't so hard ;) Steven Schultz sms@wlv.iipo.gtegsc.com
