[nos-bbs] serial ports

[Mark Phillips]

Why would there be a problem with a PCI serial card? I've used loads of 
different ones in my time with JONS on Linux and all have behaved as 
expected. DigiBoard (now called something else which I forget) is my 
favorite.

I have also used a 4 port USB-serial adapter under Linux and it too was 
fine.

My current production system has only one serial port and so I use 
polled/multi-drop/BPQ KISS to talk to 4 Z80 based (TNC2 compatible) 
TNC's. I run on port at 2400BD to air, another at 300bd to air and rthe 
rest at 1200bd. If I could get hold of a DRSI 9600 TNC I'd like to try 
that too.

I currently use two serial ports with jnos and have been told that it will not do well with a pci serial card.  Has anyone tried the pci board to add serial ports for jnos?  If so, what kind of success did you have?
