	I recently aquired an 8-port serial card.  (Actually, rescued it
from going to a dumpster..)  I'm pretty sure its a Comtrol Hostess 550.
Its got 8 NS16550AFN's on it (4 on the card, and 4 on a daughter board),
The connecter box that attaches through a rather large cable to the back
Says Comtrol Hostess Series. (Yeah, I'm really sure its a Hostess card..)
Does _anyone_ have the dip switch settings for it?  A few tips on configuring
it for FreeBSD 2.0.5 would be helpfull too.


		Thanks Much,

			Matt
