As I got a couple of inquiries related to my previous post which introduced
RocketPort, I am posting some info for convenience.

RocketPort is a line of products of intelligent serial cards, for ISA and
PCI (may MCA). The web site of the manufacturer, Comtrol, is:
http://www.comtrol.com/
You can get driver for Linux (for 1.2.x and 2.0.x), installation manual and
product info over here.

The Linux driver included in Kernel 2.2.5 may cause some problem with
certain version of PCI cards (at least what I have). In that case, find the
following definition in /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/rocket.c

#define ROCKET_SOFT_FLOW

and change it to

#undef ROCKET_SOFT_FLOW

and then recompile your kernel (or modules).

RocketPort is available at many PC shops in the USA including mail order
shops, like,
Warehouse  http://www.warehouse.com/
PC Zones   http://www.zones.com/
PC Connection  http://www.pcconnection.com/
I'm not sure if they export the products to oversea or not (please check by
yourself).
