The drivers are in the tree. > Digi's PC/16e ISA/PCI board w/25 DB-25's or RJ-45 connectors works for me, us at work. I use the ISA version with the DB-25's. We use them commercially useing FreeBSD and the digiboard for our serial printers and terminals. They work great. I only use about half of the ports on the board, and at 19200 baud max, so I can't say for a heavily loaded system. FreeBSD has the drivers built in. The Digi PC/16e, what I pay, is mid to high $800 range. You can get them from Kent Datacomm, email me if you want a phone number and/or email address. Roger
