Kruk" From: Randy Berndt Subject: Re: Digiboard PC/16e problem Cc: freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I like the Boca/16 board. It has modem control, which the boca/8 does not, and it is fully supported by FreeBSD. But I have had it lock up ports if I used more than 12 or so at a time. The Good News (tm): I bought 2 16's and only use the first 8 on each. I have had ZERO trouble with them since. Also, they are so cheap compared to other multiport boards, buying 2 is a reasonable choice. I am using them in to connect to an older minicomputer, so I am only running a mix of 9600 and 19200 connections. At 07:18 AM 2/20/97 -0500, Serge G.
