Still no go... FreeBSD doesn't recognize those ports. Hmm. What happens if you power the machine down and up again?

Is that an issue? Not really; it's all abuse of terminology. What brand are the 16550's? Are they, by any chance, inside a Startech 16C552? -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" - Terry Lambert [[
