I recently got an Edgeport/421 (4 USB, 2 RS-232 DB-9, 1 parallel) that
seemed like it would be really handy since this computer is legacy free
and doesn't have any serial ports and having serial ports would be
really handy.

http://www.digi.com/products/usb/edgeport.jsp

Everything seems to work great.  Except the serial ports. 

Are there any suggestions on what I might need to do to make the serial
ports work?  



>From looking and then taking it apart, it appears to be the newer TI
version that is mostly just a TUSB5052 with one of the free ports hooked
to a USB Parallel port.

http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/tusb5052.html

Is there already a USB serial driver that supports the TUSB5052 chip
that I can just add the detection to?


I am currently looking at uticom.c, but it claims:
"XXX: multiport chips are not supported yet"



More information if it helps.

Snipped from a dmesg with UGEN_DEBUG set and ugendebug set to 10:

I did ask the Google, and marc.info, and although I did find the Linux
and Sun drivers that Digi provides, I did not find anything that was
useful to me.
