[CQ-Contest] PCMCIA serial ports

[fcady at ee.montana.edu]

I recently purchased the Silicom dual-port serial card.  It works great
and the Silicom folks are really good with product support.  I thought I
had problems and they (actually the vendor from whom I bought the card)
replaced the card once.  I have not taken the time to get it running on
both DOS and Win95 but have been able to make it work on DOS when
booting into DOS and in WIN when booting into WIn.  It cost $189 from
Essex Portable Computers.  You can find them on the web but if not, let
me know and I can send you a phone number.  Also great folks to work
with.  I recommend the Silicom over the Quatech because it has better
cable connectors for both ports and you can individually select IRQs for
each port, which you need to do for CT and which you can't do with the
Quatech.

Good luck.  Let me know if there is anything else you need to know.
