I have several devices that communicate with a pc via serial ports. I've
been using them on and off, one at the time, because my pc only has one
serial port. Now I want to use them all together. I searched and I found a
serial multiport card here:

I didn't even know something like this existed. Anyway, I'm wondering if
something like this would work under linux.
Yes. I have one in my machine:
00:08.0 Serial controller: Lava Computer mfg Inc Quattro-PCI A
00:08.1 Serial controller: Lava Computer mfg Inc Quattro-PCI B
Work out-of-the-box with a 2.6 kernel, need a little help with
setserial with a 2.4 kernel.
Does anybody know of a different solution?
Thanks!
Excellent news! That's what I was hoping for, in asking here.
No drivers from the manufacturer, no kernel re-compilation I take it?
I guess what I really wanted to ask was whether such a card needs a driver,
or if the linux serial driver will do. Thanks!
Why don't you do as suggested... and read the several pages the
manufacture has describing *exactly* how to install the card on
a Linux system. Google is your friend, stop stumbling around in
the dark!
