	Now that I have a shiny new 2000 to replace my venerable 3 1/2 year old
	1000 ( It retired to a cushy life as the first "real computer" for my
	SO :-) ), I have a renewed interest in adding more serial ports. 
	
	Where are they ?

	What's Holding them up?
		Hardware design ?
			Serial Port guidelines from CA?
				Software? (probably :-) )

	Seriously if there are any manufacturers planning on introducing multiport
	boards of any kind I'd appreciate hearing from you.
	
		betatest? I'll do betatest.
			I'll do alphatest.
				I'll do any....(whoops got carried away there)
	I can see it now: 
		SER1:	2400 UUCP
		SER2:	1200 packet radio
		SER3:   4800 packet radio 
		SER4:   max'd out baud  - DNET to the 1000
		SER5:   9600 HF radio remote
		SER6:   spare (gotta have a spare :-) )

Thanks
