True for the Falcon yup. The "LAN" port is the Apple Mac "localtalk" type
serial port. Under TOS you can use it as a normal serial port by simply
purchasing a Mac localtalk -> RS232 serial cable, but I never managed to
get it to work under NetBSD. I think the frequency settings for that port
must be different for the Falcon but I gave up trying to work them out
due to the huge compile times on a 4Mb 16Mhz Falcon...

Right again - Falcon has only modem2 and serial2 explicitly - I think the
BIOS maps modem1 to modem2 though I doubt that affects NetBSD. ;)
I guess I should unsubscribe this list soon... Just acquired a PC
(Cyrix 686 running FreeBSD - no Wintel here) and the Falcon is gathering
dust.
