Hi folks, I have a 486 SX 33 with 2 serial ports an LPT1 8 Mb RAM 500Mb IDE drive Floppy VGA card a modem configured etc. I wish to add a couple of extra serial ports...my tech man says simply put a another super I/O board in and disable the drive bits. But he is unsure that it is that simple in FBsd UNIX. I know I'd have to re-build the KERNEL but is the hardware addition simply as he suggests?...any knowledge out there...Thanks I wish to add some dial-in modems for my school teachers to get into our intranet Bye...keep smiling Keith Spencer BSD newbie & IT coordinator @ St Margaret Marys College in Townsville Australia
