Hello John, Well I did a locate serial.c | more, to see where the serial.c file was located, mine is located in the /usr/src/kernel-source2.2.5/drivers/char/serial.c... So I looked through the entire script, and not one word is mentioned about BOCA...Only Multiport AST fourport board ...Hummmm But yet in the serial.conf script it does mention the Boca BB1008, this is where one uncomments out the ttyS16 through ttyS23... I can send you the script if you like, so you can view it for yourself, maybe you can come up with another idea...??? I sure would like to get the Bocaboard BB1008 working shortly, before I decide that it won't work, and have to send it back... Any help from you, or anyone would be appreciated, thanks...
