Not stated in the message, but I would assume that this is an ISA card.
Unless you are out of IRQs, I would suggest selecting individual IRQs. This
would eliminate the need for any special driver. You should then be able to
use setserial. I know these are dirty words here, but Norton Utilities
ndiag.exe for DOS might be able to help you determine if the IO address and
IRQ for each port is set correctly before trying to use setserial. When
using setserial, be sure you have copied and renamed the appropriate serial
script for your OS to init.d and use chkconfig so that it runs at startup.
Also would suggest using the -z option with setserial to insure you don't
inherit any prior settings. That can cause a great deal of grief.
