a) I had it working user 2.2.x with Caldera eD2.4 (using drivers that came with it) b) When I moved to SuSE 7.2 with the 2.4.4 kernel, I think I had problems but the board was new to me and I had to get a new set of drivers from Moxa. (I still have the driver if you want it) The kernel code might have worked but I was used to using the driver from moxa and didn't give the kernel a chance. c) Somewhere around 2.4.10 or so, the kernel code worked and that's what I am using now. When you install a serial board like this, you have to define or re-define the /dev/ ports for it. For example, I am using /dev/ttyMxx which is what the kernel wants to see but if you have an app that wants ttySxx, then just symlink it to the ttyMxx. Works fine. BTW, I got the idea for the moxa board from an advertisement in Linux Journal. Bought it from a company down near Cleveland if I recall. I might be able to dig up the name if you're interested. It's a PCI board BTW. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
