Has anybody out there used one of these things yet? Any idea how well they work? Not only that but has anybody drivers for 4.1bsd for ANY of its devices - the RL02, the RA80 and the DMF32. The price for the package looks quite good. Anybody out there got any idea what's so great about the DMF32? The Able dh/dm board puts 16 lines in the same space as the DMF32 puts 8 - and the dh/dm gives modem control on all lines rather than just 2. Mind you you don't get the sync line or the lp/dr11, but if what you want is terminal ports, is there any advantage?
