As far as i understood it the situation is like this: the 2.1 driver has
some (please correct me if i'm wrong !!) problems and so Brian Litzinger
(sp?) wrote a replacement driver. This driver needs a) a hardware
modification in the plugs and b) need mgetty because the interlock between
incoming and outgoing calls is not done in the driver (so it must be done
with mgetty). a) and b) are not acceptable for my purposes.

Someone else wrote that the -current Cyclades driver works fine. Has someone
backported the diffs to 2.1 or -stable yet ?

Are there any _first-hand_ 2.1/-stable experiences with any Cyclades driver ?
