6809 Board ID, take 2...

I used to babysit an AT&T StarServer, a 486 Unix box. It had a board in it
(unfortunately I rarely had the oppoutunity to have the box open and don't
know what the board was labeled) that served as a multiport serial
connection. It could connect to 4 "concentrators" that were flat metal boxes
with 16 RJ45 port serial ports that went to dumb terminals. Your card might
be similar. The RAM could be for buffering.

BTW, the concentrators were very touchy and often failed. They were also
static sensitive.

The system this came out of was an AT&T "StarSystem" - a 386 clone w/10Mbit
ethernet, VGA & the usual stuff on the mobo... I may spark up the system
tomorrow, just to see what kind of schtuff might still be on the HD...

Anyway, if anyone's got a clue, I'd be most appreciated!
Thanks,
