There probably won't be a whole LOT of data running through them, so speed probably isn't an issue. One of the main problems of running lots of "standard" serial or parallel ports on a machine is that you start running out of I/O ports or interrupts pretty quickly. --mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
