G'day all, I'm sure someone knows how to get one of these cards to work. I've had little response from either Cyclades Tech support or my local supplier. This is my second cyclom-8yo, I sent the first one back for the exact symptoms that this one is showing. There must be some magic I have to invoke because I can't believe 2 dud cards. The freebsd setup side of things was a doddle, I'm having trouble with CYCTEST. 1. I set the dip switches on the card for IRQ15 and it doesn't matter what INT setting I use in CYCTEST the card still passes the board tests. The IRQ test always reports 'Missed IRQs' but no number, so I'm not sure if its supposed to report 'nnn Misses IRQs' when it actually misses IRQs. 2. I can't test any ports because CYCTEST reports it can't find any ports connected. I've connected 2 known working modems and a known working dumb terminal but I'm sure thats not what CYCTEST means by connected. 3. The terminal emulation in CYCTEST enables me to toggle DTR on the modem so it looks like control signals are getting thru but nothing on TD or RD. 4. Both FreeBSD and NT start the card OK, but all applications will hang when attempting to output on a cyclom port. FreeBSD reports bytes entering the output queue but never leaving, then finally the queue fills. Anyone advise on this would be greatly appreciated. regards, taras ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Taras M.
