Hi all,
	I have a non intelligent digiboard PC/8 with 8 16550 UARTS.  The
problem is this - Only 4 serial ttys work at 9600 baud - It can be any of the
8 ports (100,108,110,..,138), but only 4.  And those four are always on 
ttyS0->ttyS3, cua0->cua3.  I've read the Serial Howto until my eyes
bled.  I've make triply sure that the devices in /dev (cua4->7) (ttyS4->7) 
exist.  Just to be sure, I've used MAKEDEV ttyS4 (5,6,7) to do it again.  

	However, no matter what I do the only ports that work will be
the ones I've  told setserial to be cua0->3.  

	cua4->7/ttyS4->7 do work, but take 10 minutes to print a login
prompt.

	Linux Box is a 486/33, running stock kernal 1.1.59 from
Slackware 2.1, getty_ps.  

	Any hints at all will be appreciated.  I've blown 4 days at it!
