I don't work for Digi, so this probably can't count as completely official, but I have it on good authority that Digi would like to have FreeBSD drivers for some of their multi-port serial interfaces, and that they are willing to provide the equipment in exchange for drivers. They already have Linux drivers, but would like to have a presence in the FreeBSD community as well, partly because of the controlled release situation. If I weren't already too busy to sleep, I'd grab at least one of the styles to do myself. If you need more than 2-4 serial ports, Digi's can be great! I once worked for the parent company, more than 10 years ago before these products existed, but since then I've only been a happy customer. To express interest and for exact model numbers and details, please write to keng@digibd.com. You can reply to me, as well, but I'll simply forward the e-mail to him. I'm pretty sure that one of the models in question is the PC/Xe, which is a 16-port system with dual ribbon cables running from the ISA card to an external connection box. I have been administering a system for a customer for more than five years which has two of these boards in it, and other than damage due to lightning strikes, they've been trouble-free.
