I am having a problem with configuring a laptop portable to
run NCSA telnet. The version of telnet is 2.2D with the 8250
SLIP drivers. My question is, "is there a different driver for
the 82c50 ?" There should not be any difference; the 'c' in the
id indicates that the chip is the CMOS low power varient of the
8250.
The problem that I am experiencing is that a Toshiba T1000 seems to
lock up printing characters with the high bit set (graphics characters),
and I lose keyboard control forcing a cold boot of the PC.
Just in case there is some kind soul that would like to debug
this one.... I included some information below.
