One potential note of a warning only: If your system crashes while the serial ports were active (lots of data flowing so some interrupt requests are still pending), the affected ports usually fail to probe after a reboot. This is a known problem with no known fix, except for another volunteerly reboot. Apart from this, sax.sax.de is using a Boca 2016 with great success in a similar environment. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
