Hi. I got the docs from the FTP site and still have a question.
I need to make absolutely sure that FreeBSD works with Boca 6-port i/o cards.
One document mentions all Boca cards except for the 6 port, and the other
mentions only the 6 port and not the others. Can you tell me if FreeBSD does in
fact support the 6 port card from Boca, is it easy to configure, and will it
work in conjunction with a regular comport thus giving me 7 i/o ports on a
single pc?
I want to put FreeBSD to work between my BBS and the internet:
nullmodem 28.8k slip
BBS/Boca-16 =========== Boca-6/FreeBSD/Com2 ------------ Provider
~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~
Is this possible?
>From the freebsd.asc file
| 4.4. What multi-port serial cards are supported by FreeBSD?
|
| o BOCA 4/8/16 port cards inshared IRQ mode,
>From the relnotes.txt
| 2.3. Misc
| ---------
|
| BOCA ATIO66 6 port serial card using shared IRQ.
The "2.3 Misc" list doesn't indicate if it's an inclusion or exclusion list.
Thanks for any help. Happy holidays.
