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!
