I have searched the mailing lists for people who have good things to say about multiport serial cards. So far, it seems that the Cyclades is probably the best way to go. I have 2 questions: 1) Does it work well? I mean, support full modem control, run at full speed (56K) with all ports active, etc. 2) I have a small dial-in user base being serviced with the two com ports and a pair of modems now, and can't envision needing more than 8 ports. Would the Cyclades 8Yo (ISA) do, or should I consider the 8Zo? The box I am dialing into does much more than service remote users, so CPU utilization and number of interrupts are important to me. Thanks for any and all help, Tim --- Tim Pushor Orion Technologies Inc.
