Anyone done two serial ports on a Linux laptop? How did you do it?
You'll need to get a PCMCIA serial port card, probably quite expensive, to get the second port.
Why do you need two? If one is for a mouse then consider getting a PS/2 mouse, or if you want an external mouse and keyboard there are PS/2 Y-cables for exactly that, leaving your serial port free for other stuff.
If you want to use a modem then consider buying a PCMCIA modem straight off - easier by far.
Does linux support serial ports (rather than modems) on the PCMCIA bus? -- Criggie
