I have mouse, modem and terminal connected via com ports. It's possible to
use more than two ports at the same time. To do this you must reconfigure
IRQ's so that every com port has different one. I have this kind of
configuration:
/dev/cua0 IRQ 4 mouse
/dev/cua1 IRQ 3 terminal
/dev/cua2 IRQ 4 (I don't use this one, that is why
it has same irq as cua0 ...
it doesn't matter.)
/dev/cua3 IRQ 2 modem
You can change cua's irg with setserial for example this kind of command:
setserial /dev/cua3 irq 2
I have this command in /etc/rc.d/rc.local, so in every bootup cua3 will be
configured from irq 3 to irg 2.
More info will be found from Serial-HOWTO.
