I need an opinion or two. It says in the kernel config file
( /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT FBSD-2.1.5-R ) that the driver
for the DigiBoard is ALPHA QUALITY. I need a multi-port serial
card to put into a system I'm building ( ASUS MB, probably
P100, SCSI, couple Fireballs, several modems). This is for a
business application, so obviously it's gotta be rock-solid
reliable. Also, what for the SCSI? This system isn't gonna do
a whole lot of disk access. And I'm thinking ZyXEL for the
modems. Any advice offered will be greatly appreciated.
Please CC: postel@metro.net.
TIA
