- Just to quibble a bit, I thought that ISC dropped SVR4 after they were
- bought by SunSoft.

- There were several different Bell Tech cards, but none of them had drivers
- included in the last ship of Intel SVR4.0.3. Intel did have a driver
- package for the ICC card, a smart 6 port card, which used the same driver as
- a later 8 port card. I thought the HUB6 was the "dumb" board?? If so, I
- remember reading in an earlier version of FAS about people using the "dumb"
- BELL TECH board with 6 16450's replaced with 16550's. Did I dream this or
- does anyone else remember?
