What I did when presented with this problem was to do a bit of surgery on the old
ISA board and change its IRQ to a spare in the computer I was using. I cut one
track solder a wire the new interrupt pad to get it to work. With setserial and
this setup I was able to run four Serial Terminals of a two standard ISA cards.

Down side is that you lose IRQ's when you do this.

Hope this helps
