Hi Q.

I've just tried it from a telnet session on the system I'm on at the
moment, and here's what I get...

Q> serinfo:1.0 driver:4.27
Q> 0: uart:16550A port:3F8 irq:4 tx:0 rx:0 RTS|DTR
Q> 1: uart:16550A port:2F8 irq:3 tx:0 rx:0 RTS|DTR
Q> 2: uart:unknown port:3E8 irq:4
Q> 3: uart:unknown port:2E8 irq:3

Not sure if this helps or not...

Best wishes from Riley.
