Hi,

So..... I have an application that requires six serial ports, and would
like ten. 5.x FreeBSD versions are being EOL'd per the announcement,
forcing me to move to 6.x. The Comtrol driver for the "Smart"
Rocketport boards is broken in 6.x, and the PR appears to be one
that will sit and rot.
What options do I have in the FreeBSD universe here guys? This is a
real no-BS production application that has hundreds of deployed instances,
and it is in no way "obsolete" or something I intend to stop supporting.
I know serial I/O is passe for many, but some of us have applications that
actually require it, and can't rationally be moved to anything else due
to external hardware considerations.
I do serial I/O a bit. I use USB to RS232 and USB to RS485/RS422 devices.
There are a bunch of vendors, they are cheap and seem to work well. I have
also seen (but not used) 4 port versions of these things, and I wouldn't be
surprised if you could find an eight port version as well.

Jan Mikkelsen
