thanks;
I got it configured.  I realized that if it is below one block, it would show
zero.  My conflict was the kernel was allocating  ttyS0-3 then running isapnp.
/* re: isapnp HOW-TO  */  My solution was to use jumpers.  Those are those
things we old dos people used to use when computers were lucrative and easy!
I am getting too old for this sometimes.
