We just got a Sun 386i, and would like to add a couple serial ports. Rather than buying an expensive N-port card, we'd like to use the standard PC-bus serial cards we have around. The Sun comes with instructions for using them from DOS (worked fine), but we want to use them from UNIX so we can do things like uucp. Does anyone have a driver that supports them?

Thanks; We purchased a Digiboard Com/4i for our 386i. It supports 4 9600 baud serial ports and the driver appears to be clean enough. We have used it for dial-in logins and uucp. The installation was quite easy, and the configuration is done by a shell script that asks various questions and then installs the driver with the proper switches. The board was purchased new for around $300. If you need more info, give me a call at 203/488-6090.

I am interested in any information on single or multiport boards, with or without drivers.
