Hi So:ren, you say:
# I'm currently using two of their old ONBoard cards. Both are
# 16 ports/ISA types. If their newer cards are of the same
# quality I can only recommend them. I run both cards at their
# full speed (38400) on all 16 ports, works very nice...
We have several MOXA C104+ (4 ports) and C128+ (8 ports)
boards now, theyr'e with 16550 chips and are Ok with
all channels at 57600, up to 16 channels per 486 box;
FreeBSD performs flawlessly, no overloads or overruns.
(Thanks to Bruce Evans and sio.c hackers!)
So I should certainly add:
simultaneous speed of 115200 on _all_ ports is required
too -- otherwise, will I gain something better from this
"smart" boards than I'm getting now from good old FIFOs?

With best regards -- Andrew Stesin.
