We have one of these boards for sale. 8 ports. Driver versions 2.1.7, 2.4.2, 2.4.1, 2.5 beta. It works. Complete, with manual. About 8-9 months old. It is >not< perfect. We have noted some strangeness with modems (it has trouble supporting multiple Telebits). Works great with terminals though. First $750 takes it. I'll pay shipping. -- Karl Denninger (karl@ddsw1.MCS.COM, <well-connected>!ddsw1!karl) Public Access Data Line: [+1 708 566-8911], Voice: [+1 708 566-8910] Macro Computer Solutions, Inc.

I have a site that has the Anvil Onboard. Got a hit and blew some ports so we got a new one for replacement. The old board was a 10Mhz design, the new one is 16Mhz. Don't have any modem experience on this one, but the terminals at 38k under the new board are "zippier" than the same terminals at 38k on the old board. Definately a faster board - and new drivers are due for it soon to improve performance. (Of course they HAVE to say that don't they?) With serial boards being a very competitive item right now all the board mfrs seem to be trying to outdo the competition. -- Bill Vermillion - UUCP: {uiucuxc,hoptoad,petsd}!peora!tarpit!bilver!bill : bill@bilver.UUCP
