[mythtv-users] Serial port PCI card and problem controlling external DirecTV box

Hello

   I have one on-board serial port on my motherboard. I use it to  
control my DirecTV DRD435RH Satellite receiver. It works great.

   I bought a second identical receiver, and it also works great, but  
I had no second serial port, so I bought a PCI card that had one port  
on it. I dropped it in the PC, and it does not work.

   It is a SYBA IOC-2000 DB9 Serial card with Netmos 9820 Chipset.

   Can anyone help me get this working? I'm not sure even where to  
start.

Thanks,
