Hi

I have noticed a couple of people have had problems with adding serail
ports above cua1 (ie standard DOS com ports com3 and com4) - problems with
mouse and modem on cua0 and cua1.

I am now in the position where I need to add a second modem to handle fax
calls, so I need to know if there is any special requirement ro make sure
adding a serial card to my system to give me the extra serial ports won't
mess up my smoothly running Red Hat 4 system?

This machine is Red Hat only, ASUS Pentium motherboard with 2 serial ports
on board.

Thanks,
