Hi, 

I am running  FreeBSD 2.0.5 with Boca 16 card. I have following (look at end of
the mail) defined  in the kernel  to support Boca16 card.

I am running 
ttyd4 for sio4
ttyd5 for sio5
 - - - -
ttyde for sio14

all the modems connected on the above ports work fine. As soon as I connect
12th modem on  ttydf for sio15 and if I try to login then the system just
hangs.

What should be the number of the ttyd ports for the sio15 to sio19?

Do I have to use ttye0 for sio16?

Another strage thing is when I do "ps" for the root I get following

  PID TT  STAT      TIME COMMAND
  158 v0  Ss     0:01.49 -bash (bash)
 3641 v0  R+     0:00.01 ps
  171 df  IWs+   0:00.06 /usr/libexec/getty tp.57600 ttydf
  172 dg  IWs+   0:00.05 /usr/libexec/getty tp.57600 ttydg

Strange about this is ttydf and ttydg shows up in this process list.

Thanks for taking time to help.
