The card has to support at least 6 (possibly more later) serial terminals for a school library catalogue system. The machine they will be hanging off is an Acer Pentium 75, 16MB RAM (now that I have the OS installed). This job used to be done by a 386DX25, 8MB RAM with a 4-port card with shared IRQ. I started having problems with that one when the 5th and 6th terminals were added to sio0 and sio1. any suggestions? thanks, Carey
