Multiport Serial

[Wm Brian McCane]

Greetings,
	This might no longer be a good place to ask this since so few of
us actually use modems anymore, but...

I am wondering which of the multiple serial port cards is best
supported/maintained in FreeBSD.  I am also concerned with
expandability...

A customer with a server running about 20 dumb terminals plus some PCs on
a network, wants to put a box in a satellite office to run 4 or 5
terminals and a printer.  They also would like a new report system and we
are looking at setting up a box with about 32 modems hanging off it's
backside for faxing and dumping directly to onsite modem/buffer/printer
units.

So:
	support for 8 upto 32 ports
	well maintained driver
	capable of sending 32 simultaneous 19200 or faster faxes
	Not too worried about the price
