I need to use the system with three serial ports. Does the unix kernel allow you to configure serial devices that share a common interrupt. When you buy a serial card, you can usually configure the card for interrupt 3 or 4. When you install a second board (for the third and possibly fourth serial port) you share an interrupt with the first board, but use different IO ports. Does unix allow you to configure the kernel to support this type of setup. I know that there are intelligent IO boards available that will provide for many serial connections, but price is a factor here. --- %c #67sa
