Yes. I have an AST-Four Port/DOS and a DFI 2s/1p/1g I/O card installed. I just set the 4port to its alternate address and left the 2 DFI serial ports at their defaults. I installed FAS for the 4port and left the two other using the ASY driver. I will eventually switch them to FAS. Everything works fine. -- Jeff Johnson 10926 Jollyville Rd #1420 Computer Consultant Austin, TX 78759 (512) 343 0675 Email -> uunet!cs.utexas.edu!ibmchs!auschs!marichal.austin.ibm.com!jeff Disclaimer: "My views and opinions do not reflect those of IBM"
