hi Guy, sad to say for some reason those pci serial cards don't work on the standard irq and port address i tried to set one up a month ago to see if it would work for me. the card would only setup for irq 10 and ttyS3 that will not work with speakup. from what i understand from others is that the serial com 1 card needs to be built in to the mother board other wise it won't see it as a standard serial card. it is bad that they say those serial card will work in linux because that is really not the case in some situations. have a good one. randy turner On Wed, 20 Dec 2006, Guy Schlosser wrote: > I have a question along these same lines.
