Could someone with proper ESIX documentation (or inside information)
tell me whether COM3 COM4 strappable serial ports can be used with
ESIX?  The mouse on COM1 is a pain, and I would really like to add
some more serial I/O, without going to the expense of a digiboard (yet).

My guess is that one might be able to mknod a couple more minor devices,
but it would be handy to know if the driver would support them before
I go gorking my system.  Apologies for not having the complete docs ;-)
