I have a need to add additional serial ports (beyond sio0-sio3)..
how do I go about doing this?  I'm looking at adding 2 more ports,
for a total of 6.. it looks like I have enough interrupts to do this..

i need to be able to have a configuration something like this:
	sio0 = mouse
	sio1 = UPS monitor
	sio2 = modem
	sio3 = remote console
	sio4 = modem
	sio5 = spare 

please copy replies to email..
