It is possible to get serial boards that use interupts & ports other than those used by com 1 & 2.. I have a pc running redhat that has 5 com ports from 2 extra serial cards and the upper interupts of the pc. The card is a 6308HT manufactured by Sun. Cost was around $20 ( AU ) & seems to work ok.. If you use it make sure you use setserial to set the tty's properties. -----Original Message----- From: Greg Breland [mailto:gbreland@healthtech.net] Sent: Friday, 21 May 1999 0:11 To: 'Hylafax' Subject: flexfax: Recommendations for a 4 port Modem card for Linux Does anyone have any recommendations for a modem card for linux? I need to connect 4 to 8 modems to my linux box. I have plenty of 14.4 external modems, but as I understand PC's, I can only have 2 serial ports. Does anyone know of either a good 4 port serial board or a 4 port modem bank device that works well with linux and Hylafax? We have about 2000 customers that we have to send regular governmentally required updates to. It takes 1 minute to send a one page fax to a number. That means 2000 minutes or 33.3 hours for one broadcast with one modem. Hooking up the second modem drops that to 17 hours, which will work, but I would rather get it around 8 hours or less. Thanks for your help, Hylafax is a great program. This message has successfully passed virus checking. Mazda Australia takes every precaution to ensure email messages are virus free.
