Brian,

I just noticed this from the lirc.org site (http://lirc.org/receivers.html):

"Please note that the serial port driver in the LIRC package only
supports 8250 compatible UARTs (this includes the most common 16450
and 16550A types). That means that it won't work with exotic
multi-port cards that need a special driver."

I'll keep my fingers crossed your serial card works with a transmitter.

Nick
