In the FAQ, it stated that 4 serial lines are supported by Linux../dev/ttys1
thru /dev/ttys4 I believe, relating to COM ports 1 thru 4. However, I was
told by someone that Linux only supports 2 of these simultaneously due to
the interrupt conflicts. I was also told that there are new modems available
that allow you to modify the IRQ settings so that you can use 4 modems at
once. Will Linux support this currently? If not, how hard would it be to
add the support?
