	Yup, the LAN (basically an Appletalk DIN) shares a uart with one of the
RS232 ports, so you can't use them at the same time (not that I can think of 
how I _could_ use them all, let alone more than one serial port, unless I plan
on running a multi-line BBS - don't I wish:).  Unfortunately
I don't have the specs so I can't tell you what uart drives the ports.
