Thanks for the tip. Just a couple of questions about how you
set it up.
1) How many COM ports are you using? Its appears by the rc.serial
you sent there are 6.
2) Is it necessary for me to diable the COM ports on my motherboard?
3) Will Red Hat recognize the rc.serial file? If so, where did you
place it? /etc/rc.d/rc.serial?
4) Are all your jumpers on the 4COM card on IRQ 10?
Sorry to ask all these questions, but I'm pretty new to Linux and alot
of the terminology blows me away.
Thanks!!!!
