Don't know about any speed limitations, but we have one at LARIAT that's working fabulously under FreeBSD. We configure our serial ports at 38.4 to provide a little breathing room, and with at least 1K of buffering on each port, it's unloading the system. The automated RTS/CTS handshaking is a boon. > All the Hayes ESP cards I have personally seen are version 2, > including both of the cards I own. Is this the one with the Bizcom UART on it? As for the Multi-Tech card: it has one port that can look like a standard UART, but the other MUST use DMA. This means it must have a driver. Good card, and not expensive; it'd be nice to see it supported. --Brett
