Greetings,

   I have just bought a DigiBaord DigiCHANNEL C/CON-16, and would like to
install it on my FreeBSD-1.1.5.1-Release machine.

   I dont know if the DigiBoard is a popular thing in the states, not being
there myself, but that is where I bought it. The idea is to give me 16
comports on which I can install modems to allow users to fone in to
my FreeBSD box.

   Unfortunately, I was given no manuals with the board, other than an
installation note, which just said push it in and there you have it. I will
be writting off for the manuals ASAP, but for now I need to know the
following :

   Can FreeBSD 1.1.5.1-Release support it?
   if not, does FreeBSD 2.0 support it?
   if not, how would I go about writting drivers for it, or are there any
      drivers out there already
   Is there anyone out there that has set up a DigiBoard for FreeBSD, and 
     have it working? 

  help help help help help help help !

   I would really appreciate any & every bit of help I can get !!!!

   Thanks in Advance (TIA?)

   Brian
