You should probably first try placing the board in the machine, and
after booting go to a command line and type 'dmesg | egrep tty' to see
if all the ports were automatically setup.  If you do not see 8 new tty
numbers assigned to a single IRQ, then it is likely only 4 ports were
automatically configured.  At that point you would need to rebuild the
kernel with support for more ports according to the instructions in the
link below.

Thank you,

Hello,

Will I need to rebuild the Kernel for enabling more ports? I am using
Fedora Core 5 - 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.

already running HylaFAX - hylafax-4.3.0-2fc5.i386.rpm and Avantfax -
avantfax-2.0.5.gz. I wanted to know if there any precautions I need to
take before going ahead with installation. Additionally one which device
ports will these modems get installed? Normal serial modems get
installed on ttyx - what will it be for "The Mainpine RockForce Octo+
8-line PCI card"?
