What I now need is where I can get a multiport board that has all the modem control lines as well as the hardware flow control lines (DTR, CD, RTS, CTS), with maybe 4 ports or so. I can then use it in conjunction with my regular serial card (2 16550AFN's). SO the question is: Does the AST-4 implement the control lines I need? What does it cost, and where can I get it? Is there possible a 6-banger that's supported yet? I need to buy one of these next week, so anyone who has had any experience with these, please email me. Thanks, Troy Curtiss troyc@merix.com
