I. Hardware
The serial port adapter I bought for $35 is called "KW-509B
asynchronous communication adapter". It provides two RS-232C serial
ports, configurable as either COM1, COM2, COM3, or COM4 with IRQ level
of 2, 3, 4, or 5.
Since I've already have COM1 with IRQ4 and COM2 with IRQ3 on my
386 machine, I configured the two ports as COM3 with IRQ5 and COM4 with
IRQ2.
II. Software
The operating system I have is Interactive V/386 2.0.2. And the
followings are the list of files that need to be edited and their
modified contents. The information is interpersed throughout "AT&T UNIX
V.3.2 Integrated Software Development Guide".

Then execute 'kconfig' as 'root' to have 4 COM ports available for
logins.
