If you use real OSs instead of DOS, then sharing IRQs is possible, if you use a serial board which supports it. Sometimes there are even Taiwainian boards which use only 1 IRQ for 4 or 8 serial ports. These boards are more expensive than the dumb ones, of course. They cost about 120 DM (ca. $70) here in Germany (4 ports). But these ones are sometimes difficult to get. Not all dealers who sell the real cheap stuff understand what you want :-) Robert -- Robert Schien robsch@robkaos.GUN.de "To err is human, to really foul things up requires a computer"
