You're both running those BOCA 2016 boards? We want to buy one for
our non-commercial domain backbone and we're not sure if the following
will work:
1st port on Boca Bord as sio0 (Por 0x3f8, IRQ 4) for com console
all other ports on one shared IRQ
or
all ports on one shared IRQ
And we need full modem support on all ports.
Is this possible? What other experiences did you make with those cards?
Bye,
Martin
