Hi,

I know that this questions are possibly FAQ Questions, but I did not
found an answer in the FAQs. Please help me cause the elder news about
this topic are all expired... :(

1.) How can I configure the serials to 8N1, 8 bit, no parity, 1 stopbit ?
    I need this setting for an dialin port. This port has to be locked
    to 19200, 8N1.
    It's no problem to do stty cs -parenb -clocal </dev/com{1,2,3,4}
    but that does only work after login, cause it's no gettyredefinition.
    Please tell me how to configure /etc/gettytab for such purposes.
    Sorry, but it's urgent, I have to get this machine up with this
    setting. Hope you can help me. Thx for reading and probably you
    can mail an answer.

2.) Does 386BSD support AST-Research compatible (or XENIX-compatible :)
   4 Port cards that use only one Interrupt ? If not is there any
    chance to patch it ?


Thx in advance for all help.
