In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Boca 16 port (BB2016) works like a champ. All that is required to use it is a kernel recompile (and the instructions on the sio man page are pretty clear about this) to use multiport boards and to MAKEDEV the devices. If it's desired, I'll write a step-by-step for it for the handbook. On Mon, 24 Jul 1995, Jonathan M.
