Hi All,

Can someone please advise me on how to configure a 2 port PCI serial card.
The motherboard has 1 serial port (configured for Modem) and as RH9.0.

When I issue lspci -v, I get :

01:02.0 Communication controller: NetMos Technology 222N-2 I/O Card (2S+1P)
(rev 01)
        Subsystem: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic: Unknown device 0012
        Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 9
        I/O ports at dc00 [size=8]
        I/O ports at d880 [size=8]
        I/O ports at d800 [size=8]
        I/O ports at d480 [size=8]
        I/O ports at d400 [size=8]
        I/O ports at d080 [size=16]

However I haven't got a clue on how to configure!!?.  Port  ttyS0 is
configured to use the modem.  I want the above serial ports configured so I
can connect  VT screens (serial login)

Any help will be appreciated.

well, with setserial you want to configure /dev/ttyS2 (or your choice,
really)..
you want to tell linux the base io port (eg 0xdc000, irq 9 and "share_irq"
and 'auto_config' )

Try all the io ports you listed (eg d400, d480, d800 )  one by one until you
get the serial port to work.

The parallel port is at d080, i cant tell cause it has 16 io ports ...
Well I think that is it.try that first...
