I believe tahhat the PS/2 family has a redesigned COM port which allo
multiple ports to share a single IRQ line.

I also remember reading about a new serial card that does the same thing,
but I don't have any details.

This hardware ability is fine, but unless all ISR's on the same IRQ know
that they may be sharing the line, I doubt if it will work.
