We currently use 8 out of the 16 ports, and the only bug we've experienced so far is that if the machine crashes while interrupt conditions are pending, it fails to probe (some of) the ports. I think that's a known BOCA disease however, and it could always be solved by cleanly rebooting the machine again (so that all processes were stopped before, thus no interrupts are pending). We are running our ports at 57600, i believe. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
