: Is your kernel compiled with the options COM_MULTIPORT & COM_BIDIR in
: it?

: Nate

You need COM_MULTIPORT at least, COM_BIDIR if you want to be able to
use the dial-in/dial-out port pair.

Have you commented out the code that checks for multiple IRQ's in
the system's config file?  If you have and also specified an IRQ on
each of the sio port config lines this may be the problem.  You only 
need the IRQ specified once, on the first port for the card.
