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 ? hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis hm@altona.hamburg.com Hamburg, Europe (A)bort, (R)etry, (I)nstall BSD ?
