I have some longer term experience with these multi-port boards and they
do work very well. I have had a Stallion running on a server for 7 years
now (and it was used when I got it). Excellent product. Stable.
I have also had good luck with Cyclades and you will probably find the
driver already built as a module for most distributions. Just insmod
cyclades.o and you are in business.
I did not have such good luck with Digiboard. Seemed difficult to
configure and while fine for modems, didn't support the termios
structure correctly for an application which twiddled the bits for
external interfaces like X10 Firecracker or non-smart APC UPS.

The only thing "Windows" this software came close to had an "X" in
front of it. ... Open Source, we play by the rules.
