HI!

I'm a newbie in BSD world, and I have a question:

Is there any way to connect a modem (14.4 Kbps) or a mouse to a
parallel port? I want to connect a WYSE terminal to my computer, but I
need a free serial port. My both serial ports are occupied (mouse and
modem). Is there any way around this, except buying a new controler
with more than 2 serial ports?

Thanks a lot,
