I have it working (Computone 4 port Intelliport board). But I'm not exactly
thrilled with it. Occasionally the port will hang after dialing out. So I
limit my dialing. 

It's not that big a problem. Perhaps once a week, dialing out from one modem 
about once per hour. But it shouldn't hang at all. It's also not a reboot 
problem. Just have to kill the getty and it start's up ok. If it was any
worse I'd right a script to check and kill as required.

Anyhow the ic_control file I use is:

  ttyi00:
  # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
  # Cpu-to-cpu -- receive priority
  # This entry is used for high-speed computer-to-computer connections.
  # All of the IntelliFeatures are disabled for highest throughput.
  # Buffer assignment is skewed toward receive.
  # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #

  buffers:	receive% = 80


  ttyi01:
	  =ttyi00
  ttyi02:
	  =ttyi00
  ttyi03:
	  =ttyi00
