Hello,
I have just come across a 3com Impact IQ ISDN Terminal Adapter for
my FreeBSD 3.2 box. Along with this device came a TurboCom 920 high
speed serial card which has a 16750 UART on it to take full
advantage of the high data rate delivered by the TA. Now, here's
where the problem comes in. I have the TurboCom card setup to act
as COM2 (/dev/cuaa1), but whenever I try to use the TA on that port,
all communications with the modem come back as gibberish on the
screen when viewed in the term utility of user ppp. I don't know if
this has anything to do with it, but FBSD detects the serial port as
a 16550 UART controlled port. Is there some sort of special support
that must be compiled into the kernel for such a device? BTW, I
know that the TA works when plugged into the standard serial port on
the motherboard and with the speed ratcheted back to 115k -- I'm
using it right now.
If anyone can provide some information to help get this device
working, or if you can recommend another serial card, I would very
much appreciate it.
Thanks,
~brian
