Recently I switched from Microport V/386 to AT&T 386 UNIX. I have a Computone AT-8 and AT-4 smart serial card, 8 and 4 ports respectively. The driver for the card came in two flavors, V/386 and ISC UNIX/386. When I checked with Computone they had not yet gotten things worked out for AT&T 386 UNIX because the installation procedure was "so different". I don't think the procedure is so different, nor would anyone who reads this group, but I'm still stuck with COM1 and COM2. My gut instincts tell me that I should take the Driver.o that they provide for uPort or ISC (I haven't looked to see if they are the same size, they should be) and wrap an AT&T style install around it (idbuild, idmake, etc.). I didn't do that because the new driver was going to be available Real Soon Now, but that has been a month. Has anyone set up a Computone card to work with a WGS 6386 or clone using AT&T 386 UNIX? If so, would you share the "wrapper"? If not, can anyone think of a reason why the V/386 or ISC Driver.o would not work with the appropriate entries in the AT&T directories/files? -- Bill Kennedy Internet: bill@ssbn.WLK.COM Usenet: { killer | att-cb | ihnp4!tness7 }!ssbn!bill
