I intend to add a four port board to my P150/Linux system.  Referring 
to the ``serial.rc'', these boards are directly supported:
    AST Fourport board
    Accent Async board
    BocaBoard 4 port (BB-1004)

Questions:

1. Any good/bad experiences with any of the boards?

2. Are these boards equipped with 16550s?

3. Are these boards capable of sharing one interrupt line?
3a.Any comments/recommendations on that?

4. Any considerations re ISA or PCI bus?

5. Suppliers in .au?

6. Any other thoughts?

All advice/comments appreciated.
