Hi,

I have purchased a STLab NetMOS 2-Port Serial PCI Card Moschip 9835 PCI
bus 32 bit card to run a cashdraw kickswitch which does not work, it
works ok connected to the serial port on the motherboard COM1, I am
using the EFT-POS machine on COM1 for point of sale.

Sometimes when I unplug the unit for the kickswitch which has 2 RJ11
cables into it from the serial port and plug it in again the cashdraw
opens and sometimes it doesn't.

So really, whats the difference between a motherboard serial port and a
PCI serial port

Most serial port cards are junk, and I mean most. We do a lot of hardware
work for medical groups and the only COM port cards that have never given
me problems are the Comtrol uPCI Rocket Port cards - they have from 2 to
8 serial ports and I've used them in everything from cheap PC's to Quad
CPU Servers without a problem.
