I've got 48 ports on an EISA PC/Xem.  41 of them are currently being
used.  About 30 are set at 57,600, with the rest 115,200.

At peak load conditions, I get an occasional "intr lost".  Never an
"output stalled".

This is on BSDI 2.0.1.

The Digiboard problems are overrated.  Put more RAM in your box.
