Ummmmmm, I don't think I have the skills to write a driver, and I'm pretty new to FBSD. I saw the message though, and may get in touch with Serge.

It's supported? I remember seeing in the FAQ about serial boards that some didn't support HW flow control, and other various problems. Does the Boca do what you want?

Since they elected to make a Peter> Linux GPL driver available they may decide that a FreeBSD Peter> driver is in their interest. Ah, yeah, I've seen their web. I'll drop them a polite note. Thanks again!!
