[H-GEN] Of modems and terminals.

[Jason Parker]

Okay people, time for a *real* challenge.  ;)

I've just purchased a modem for fridge, and I'm looking at using it to
connect via PPP to UQ.  (Of course.)  But I'd still like to keep my
olde Digital vt320 open as well.  Now as both my serial ports are
being used (mouse and term/modem) I gather that I will need another
serial card, right? [1]

I've heard nasty things said about Linux and extra serial ports.  Not
wanting to waste valuable net resources (snigger) doing a search
myself, I'm now plundering the collective memory of HUMBUG.  What can
I do to get around this?  [2]

Cheers, and TIA,
Jason `Shit I'm going to miss my dumbterm' Parker

[1] : There *is* a spare paralell port (or at least I think so, I
never was good at telling those...) but I /don't think/ that that is
going to be very useful.  ;)

[2] : No, installing a non-Linux system is not an option.  Sorry, but
I've spent **far** to much time on fridge in her Linux incarnation to
install *BSD, or >shudder< Minix.  (Hmmmm.  Asbestos suit /on/... :)
