    I have a similar card but the doc with it does not mention Linux - or anything
    else. I got it to work by editing the setserial file to tell Linux what to do
    (addresses and irqs) with the four ports. But to make it work I had to
    disable all the standard serial ports in the BIOS so that the new card would
    not generate conflicts. I'm still using the same card - using the BIOS
    comport disabling strategy under Win 98, sorry about that. Of course as you
    probably have a more modern machine, it might all be different.
