I think there are a lot of people reading this newgroup that
would like this information.  I'd like to add a tape drive
*and* a multiport serial card to my uport V/AT 2.3 (or 2.4)
system.  There are reports of problems with the Digiboard
when used with modems rather than terminals, and there are
problems, I hear, with trying to use the Digiboard driver
simultaneously with the tape drive driver installed.

Could John Plocher or someone else from Microport *please*
clarify what vendor's cards are *known* to work in this
configuration?  Inquiring minds want to know...
