Actually cruising the Boca Web site is handy... ( :-) :-) ) http://www.bocaresearch.com/docs/prodlist.htm Product Code: BB1008 Eight-port serial expansion BOCABOARD for ISA. Drivers for SCO Unix/Xenix and PC-MOS. Includes eight six-foot RJ-11 to DB-25 cables. Product Code: BB1004 Four-port serial expansion BOCABOARD for ISA. Drivers for SCO Unix/Xenix and PC-MOS. Includes four six-foot RJ-11 to DB-25 cables. Product Code: IOAT66 I/O ports for ISA/EISA. Six high-speed RS-232 serial ports with 10-pin RJ-45 connectors and 16C550 buffered UARTs. Excellent product for bulletin board and fax server applications. Product Code: BB2016 16-port serial expansion BOCABOARD for ISA. Drivers for SCO Unix/Xenix and PC-MOS. External concentrator supports up to 16 RJ-45 ports. Unfortunately their use of "RJ-45" is incorrect, it's actually a ten pin connector, allowing for full modem control. > Jordan, can you please list this in the serial board section of the > release/whatever notes: > > Boca BB1004 4-Port serial card (Modems NOT supported) > Boca IOAT66 6-Port serial card (Modems supported) > Boca BB1008 8-Port serial card (Modems NOT supported) > Boca BB2016 16-Port serial card (Modems supported) That is reasonable. I have been toying with the idea of picking up an IOAT66, but I've had bad experiences with a BB2016 (interrupt problems) and I am a bit hesitant to try a Boca serial board again. :-) I guess that's fine since I don't think I know anyone who sells them anyways. But they ARE very inexpensive! ... JG
