Hey Mark, your objective sounds interesting.<BR>
The bad news is I don't believe I have a contribution for you.<BR>
<BR>
I do have an easy question to clarify my understanding if you can take a moment?<BR>
<BR>
Are you pursuing a RS-232 multi-drop solution, or a RS-435 (I believe) solution?<BR>
In the 232 case, are you not reproducing what is available on e-bay for ($50?) in the form of a card & chassis?<BR>
In the 435 case, are you finding computer and TNC equipment supporting the dual standard on their DB- connectors?<BR>
<BR>
What I'm asking is perhaps the lazy way out for me because I have not read the BPQ stuff that certainly contains an answer.<BR>
<BR>
Where my interests converge with yours is in configuring a UNIX vs DOS (I'm presuming yours is DOS) solution to the same problem.<BR>
In the unix environment, card manufacturers include drivers that bring each 232 port to a device like xtty1, xtty2, xtty3, etc, so each TNC has it's own tty (thus no polled requirement).<BR>
<BR>
AND my interests are pretty remote or "back seat" to your own so please don't exert much effort in dealing with my answer...<BR>
I am in the search phase of my interests and I also have not determined if my card has drivers available for my platform.<BR>
<BR>
