Red Hat does NOT appear to include its own "rc.serial", but I successfully
used one modified from an old Slackware 2.2.0.1 Installation. My STB 4COM
Additions were as follows:
# These are the first set of STB 4COM ports
#
${SETSERIAL} /dev/cua4 port 0x1F8 ^fourport auto_irq autoconfig
${SETSERIAL} /dev/cua5 port 0x2A8 ^fourport auto_irq autoconfig
${SETSERIAL} /dev/cua6 port 0x1E8 ^fourport auto_irq autoconfig
${SETSERIAL} /dev/cua7 port 0x1A8 ^fourport auto_irq autoconfig
Your I/O Ports may differ and I typically used a shared IRQ 10.
