Sounds like he's run into the baby-sister of Radiant company's proprietary "Power-8" serial card (loosely based on an old Boca design). Its an 8-port powered serial card made to handle 8 RJ45/RS-232 connections, and is driven by a rather bulky (and balky) DefaultX command appliction (similar to a fusion of config.sys and autoexec.bat all rolled into one). It sports a "Basis" CL-PD6729-QC-E and 2 "XP" ST-16C554DC9 chips, as well as a few that aren't quite readable. When it works, its a wonder. When it fails (it always seems to fail one-port-at-a-time...) its a nightmare. (Ever wanna see what happens when the peripheral at the other end of the RS-232 is also powered?? How about ungrounded??) Cheers!
