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? The Boca board is working OK for me. I have an 8 port board (the BocaBoard BB1008) without modem control talking to four microprocessor controlled devices using a custom line discipline (four lines are spare). The devices I'm talking to don't have modem control anyway. As mentioned previously, the 16 port Boca board does have modem control. Directions for configuring the Boca boards are in "man sio".
