Best to use COM ports for The firmware on my board are 3.00, and I've had luck with both the 4.28 and 4.40 drivers under 386/ix using XON/XOFF. -- Larry Snyder, Northern Star Communications, Notre Dame, IN USA uucp: larry@nstar -or- ...!iuvax!ndmath!nstar!larry

The firmware and driver versions you have quoted sound right. But, remember to use the MODEM device driver ( ie. ttym00 instead of ttyi00 ) and the documentation states that DCD ( data carrier detect ) is on pin 20 instead of the conventional pin 8. Also DTR ( data terminal ready ) is on pin 8 instead of the conventional pin 20. BACKWARDS!!! This is not an unusual sitiuation with most of the multiport cards I've used. Why? (IDKICGAA) ie. I' don't know and I can't get an answer !! (at least from the companies). Here in the Phoenix Arizona area I have MANY Computone cards running on my client's machines, and they work as planned, including multiplexers running down to Tucson. Really hope this helps ... or at least start's clearing up some of these many posts concerning Computone/modem problems ...
