Ellison"'s message of 4 Sep 1995 09:43:20 +0300 Subject: Cyclades CYCLOM-16Ye/RJ45 RISC Based Multi IO Organization: Helsinki University of Technology, Otaniemi, Finland Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk We are considering purchasing a Cyclades 16 port multi I/O board (CYCLOM-16Ye/RJ45) and I would like to know if anyone is currently using (or previously used) one of these products. The main reason I am writing this is that I noticed in the /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT it says that the drivers are "ALPHA QUAILITY". Since we are planning on running a ISP off this hardware I want to see if the drivers at least work, before we drop the money on the card. The current driver seems to be stable with 8-port cy boards, but I could not get it to probe a 16 port board when I tried it last night. The driver didn't see the board at all. I tried the board with linux driver and it worked so it seems that the driver needs more work (but it probably works if the probe problem can be fixed). So, not yet for 16 ports. I'll probably experiment more next night. I have had 8 V34 modems hanging on 8Yo with no serious problems for about 3 weeks. It runs PPP and terminal sessions, uses gated for OSFP, FreeBSD-current. It was reported dead one night but was rebooted before checking out what was on the console, so I can't be sure what was the problem. -- Heikki Suonsivu, T{ysikuu 10 C 83/02210 Espoo/FINLAND, hsu@cs.hut.fi home +358-0-8031121 work -4513377 fax -4555276 riippu SN
