I would be interested in hearing the rationale behind the claim that 
portmasters are junk.  We kind of went the other way, and bailed on 
multiport serial cards, with the assorted hassles and such, and went to 
the portmaster, and they've been a dream.

If I could solve my RAID box/FreeBSD 2.1.0 problem, I'd be completely 
FreeBSD as well.

The argument about spare parts is specious at best, Anybody in this 
business in any serious way has spare parts out the wazoo...
