If anyone wants to try my mods to cgd's multiport com driver to support
the RT 4-port card, send email and I'll send out diffs.  I've been
beating on it (slip between 2 486 machines @ 115.2K on one line while
catting /usr/dict/words from a terminal on another line, etc.) and it seems
to be working fairly well.

I'd also like to hear from anyone using a 386bsd machine with
a laser printer on a serial line.  I'm not having much luck generating
a working printcap entry, e.g., working params for fc, fs, xc, and xs.
Pointers to any pd filter packages would also be helpful.
