Two things:

1. I have struggled with the serial on macppc, and I have seen it work as
	console and *only* if unmolested.  It appears that any changes to
	the port (speed, etc.  i.e. pppd) will cause it to fall over.

2. I have had success with a Cyclades Y card. (8 port).  I had to make a change
	to the driver.  Stock driver does not work.  (pre-1.5 does not
	boot with the card present, as I recall)
