    Greetings,
            This might no longer be a good place to ask this since so few of
    us actually use modems anymore, but...

    I am wondering which of the multiple serial port cards is best
    supported/maintained in FreeBSD. I am also concerned with
    expandability...

    A customer with a server running about 20 dumb terminals plus some PCs on
    a network, wants to put a box in a satellite office to run 4 or 5
    terminals and a printer. They also would like a new report system and we
    are looking at setting up a box with about 32 modems hanging off it's
    backside for faxing and dumping directly to onsite modem/buffer/printer
    units.

    So:
            support for 8 upto 32 ports
            well maintained driver
            capable of sending 32 simultaneous 19200 or faster faxes
            Not too worried about the price
