Yes I have (once) and several EasyConnect 64-port cards. :)

You'll need to recompile the kernel and say [Y]es to "Stallion multiport
serial support" and [Y]es to "Stallion EasyIO or EC8/32 support"

You can also compile it as a module instead, so you don't have to reboot
your machine to start using it.

You will then need to create the tty files to access the boards, if they
don't already exist.

mknod /dev/stalliomem0 c 28 0
mknod /dev/stalliomem1 c 28 1
mknod /dev/stalliomem2 c 28 2
mknod /dev/stalliomem3 c 28 3

mknod /dev/ttyE0 c 24 0
mknod /dev/ttyE1 c 24 1
mknod /dev/ttyE2 c 24 2
mknod /dev/ttyE3 c 24 3

mknod /dev/cue0 c 25 0
mknod /dev/cue1 c 25 1
mknod /dev/cue2 c 25 2
mknod /dev/cue3 c 25 3

Then you can just use the /dev/ttyE[0-3] devices as normal serial ports.
