Someone around here has a "Logical Connection" multiport serial/parallel port card available for a good price. Does anyone know if this card could be used to provide multiple ports (the card has 8 serial ports) for an Esix system on a 386/25? I need ports for modems and terminals, and this would be a relatively cheap way to do it. If this won't work, what's a good (and inexpensive) way to get at least 4 ports, but more likely 6 for future expansion?)

Try the 4 port board made by DFI (MMU 4?). It uses a single interupt for multiple ports and the FAS driver supports it. AKA AST 4 port. I found it in a funky ad buried deep in a Computer Shopper magazine. Craig W.

Try an outfit called PC MORE. There is another that I just got a flyer from but don't have the name handy. The cost should be anywhere from $120 to $150. Craig W.
