This omission might be intentional, fine then. It is intentional: RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/sys/isa/sio.c,v Working file: sio.c head: 1.321 ... ---------------------------- revision 1.11 date: 1993/10/14 09:13:54; author: davidg; state: Exp; lines: +7 -7 Disassociate DTR and RTS. They were coupled together and shouldn't have been. This was necessary to work around problems with some equipment that don't respond favorably to having these both dropped simultaneously. ---------------------------- I have never liked it, and welcome this excuse to not do it :-). Before this change, DTR and RTS were also coupled in TIOCSDTR and TIOCDTR. That was clearly wrong, at least if RTS is not being used for flow control, since it breaks using the modem status lines independently for special (non-modem) applications. > Also noticed there were issues with DTR getting overwritten whenever line > is reconfigured (comparam()).

(console is elsewhere)) Yes, comparams only happen for opens and termios ioctls (TIOCSETA*). Setting DTR for most termios ioctls unfortunately seems to be required in practice, since clearing DTR is required when the output speed is 0 and there is no official termios way to raise DTR.

I was hoping for a teeny bit of extra safety for this kind of use, two radios with push-to-talks from DTR and RTS, voice-tunnel of sort. But nothing prevents using separate serports and/or taking care about always gracefully unkeying before exiting. Anyway there are external monostables.

I've been able to proceed with server installation and configuration with no problems, even running a "make buildworld" as a test (probably of the SDRAM more than anything). The only thing I'm not sure about is whether this is the response I'm supposed to be getting: # mlxcontrol status -v mlxd0 mlxcontrol: couldn't get controller/drive for /dev/mlxd0 mlxd0: online > I'm afraid I don't have a lot here; check your SCSI cabling, check the > card is properly seated and the memory on the card is installed. Check > your jumpers, and that you have the activity LED plugged in properly (if > it's connected at all). I checked those initially, and re-checked as well. I've been a few days in following-up because I've actually been able to get a hold of another AcceleRAID 150 and swap out the card, but I'm getting the same thing. I can go several boots (sometimes up to 5 or so) before the problem recurs, then it can happen several times in a row, rendering the ATX case power switch functionless while the reset is fine. Thus far, I've changed the SDRAM, motherboard, and RAID card. I guess I'll try the SCSI cables next. I read up on the booting process and figured I must be getting past boot[012] to the loader since I get the "press enter to boot immediately" autocount prompt, so the problem must be when it tries to read "kernel". Thanks for the suggestions. If you have any others, please keep them coming.

The device configures automatically under 4.2 as sio4, and I have the cuaa4 & ttyd4 devices to go with it. I can dial out, and dial in. My problem is that when I use kermit, it shows that the Carrier Detect signal isn't being asserted. So, I can't auto-configure my modem using a C-kermit script. Is there something I need to be doing to tell sio4 to assert CD? Or is it a problem with Kermit? I'd really appreciate some advice.

The 'aac' manpage doesn't have a comprehensive DIAGNOSTICS section because many of the useful messages come to us preformatted by the controller - they're printed with the '**' leader so you can tell that. Your problem is cabling, termination or drive firmware, and swapping to another controller won't help. You might want to start by seeing if you can't get a firmware update for your drives from Quantum; you can also do all the usual cable checking, etc. In the sample above, at least, you're only getting errors on the drive at ID 3; if you never see these errors for any other drive, you can narrow your search somewhat.

They told me they were going to announce Raid 5 for their controllers. Depending on needs this may be suitable for many people.. Mike, have you got that tested with FreeBSD yet? They told me it would be a free downloadable upgrade to all 6X00 cards. I asked them for the monitoring utility and the (most likely clueless rep) said that development of that utility had been transfered to the FreeBSD project. Is that the case?

I would recommend against this; it's a "checkbox" option to satisfy people that haven't done the math yet comparing ATA+RAID10 with SCSI+RAID5 in 3ware's market segment. > Mike, have you got that tested with FreeBSD yet? I have not; I don't believe they're ready to release yet, and since leaving BSDi I am no longer bound by NDA to 3ware, I can't really ask for it. > They told me it would be a free downloadable upgrade to all 6X00 cards. I understand this is the case; since the CPU on the card is a 25MHz 16-bit part, don't expect performance to be startling unless they pull of something amazing with the FPGAs. > I asked them for the monitoring utility and the (most likely clueless rep) > said that development of that utility had been transfered to the FreeBSD > project. Is that the case? No; it's still being developed in-house. It's available for download from my RAID page (http://people.freebsd.org/~msmith/RAID/index.html#3ware) though. -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also.

I've been buying the Zoom 56K (Model 2949) modems recently... I have a bunch of different styles, and the Zooms seem to be able to connect with "more stuff" without problems... (I regularly make calls to 3/12/2400 bps devices, in addition to the normal 33.6/56K calls - about 300 calls per day per modem total, plus the relatively few incoming calls they receive.) And they have more lights on them than most other modems - both red AND green LEDs! :) (Always an important factor in selecting a piece of hardware.) mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
