The BigmOuth card probably can't work under minix as it needs to be polled.
As soon as get updated to 1.5.10 (my disks hopefully on the way from a 
friend) I'm going to give it a try. I'll post if it works.
The two line bigger brother of BigmOuth has the on-board smarts, memory buffer,
and IRQ capability, but it's a bigger project.  I'll be glad to supply the 
information if anyone is interested in doing a minix driver.  I'm not sure
when I'll get to doing it myself.

As to the other boards, I know Dialogic sells a Unix driver for their 4 port
card. I doubt that includes source code.
