Hi folks,
We bought one of these the other day to use as a serial console server
but I had some strife getting it to work.
>From one expander port to another it worked fine but from one of these
ports to any normal serial port, it returned garbage. I had the same
results with FreeBSD, NetBSD and Linux.
I finally worked out that using 1200 baud on the expander port and 9600
on the normal serial port worked ok.
It seems that this particular card needs a multiplier in
/usr/src/sys/dev/pci/pucdata.c to get it working.
Here's the diff I used for what it's worth. YMMV of course.

Scientology, how about that? You hold on to the tin cans and then this
guy
asks you a bunch of questions, and if you pay enough money you get to
join
the master race. How's that for a religion?! (FZ)
