The other thing to check, which caught me with an ISA 4 port, and a PCMCIA
4 port, is the kernel must be set up to use multiple ports.. or else even
if the devices exist, it will not initialise any device past ttyS3.
I had to re-compile my kernel to get the 4th port to work..
ie 1 onboard port, and 4 pcmcia ports.
Same when I put the ISA 4 port card in.. it would only set up a maximum of
4 ports.. meaning with the 2 onboard, and the 4 port card, I had 2 ports I 
could not use until I rebuilt the kernel.
