	I am hoping to use my old Quadra 900 as a dialin machine for my
LAN. Has there been any headway on support for the IOP's that drive the
serial ports and ADB? Allen Briggs helped me get support for the external
SCSI bus, but the critical subsystem for the task needed is the serial
ports (and ADB would be nice!) I also have an AE Shadow QuadraLink NuBus
4-port serial port card that I was hoping to use with it as well. I have
seen mention of A/UX drivers on various discussion groups, but last I
checked this board wasn't supported by NetBSD. Has anyone gotten one to
work?

	I'm trying to get a small BBS going and I would like to use the
Quadra to accept the dialins, so modem support is somewhat critical here...
:-) I don't want to have to use my IIcx, because it's alot slower and was
never meant to be a server, and my Q630 can't use the serial port card...

	On a somewhat-related note, does anyone know anything about A/UX? I
would be willing to fork out a little money for a copy of it, but I know
it's not been released or even supported for many years now. Does anyone
here have a copy they would be willing to part with? :-) That would make my
search for a driver for my serial port card much easier as well...

	Thanks muchly in advance,

	Ryan
