Howdee, I am doing the same thing here. But, I used the Linux dmascc drivers
built into the 2.2.5 kernel. Mr. Klaus Kudielka has been a great help with
this. Currently I have the RS-422 on the first port and RS-232 for the
second. The dmascc config utility is loaded in my rc.local. Both ports are
seen with the ifconfig command.
Once the dmascc0/dmascc1 interfaces are configured, I ported them off to
tnos/jnos with the net2kiss command using ptypX/ttypX pairs. I am still
waiting for the transverter but I can initiate a transmit from the nos port.
Take a look at the www.wa4dsy.radio.org site for the dmascc driver site.
Once I get it all working I will attempt to right a HOWTO. I am using the
Red Hat 6.0 package with the 2.2.5-22 kernel.
Regards, John
