well-supported multiport serial cards

2005-08-30 Thread Charles Sprickman 

Hi,

I'm curious about what multiport (8, 16, 32 port) serial cards people have 
had good luck with.  I'm currently using two 8-port RocketPort cards in a 
console server, and while they generally work, I have to use the 
undocumented nrp driver to have more than one card work at a time, and 
on some boots I still end up with only one card being identified.


So in short, what are others using that works?  Does anyone have a clear 
idea of which are actively maintained?


Thanks,

Charles

I'm not familiar with the nrp driver, but in 5.4 the man page for 
rp(4) indicates that it should work fine with as many as 4 cards in a 
single system.
