Help, I lost my driver for the ACE 8-port serial card. I used this in a COMPAQ Deskpro running Interactive Unix 2.0. Now I upgraded to Vs.2.1 but don't find the driver to reinstall the terminal lines. Could anybody send me a compressed and uuencoded copy of the driver disk? Please mail to me directly!! <aw@thp.uni-koeln.de> Thanks in advance!

I am running 386/ix 2.0.2 on an Intel 25 Mhz 386; I've added a Computone 8-port asynchronous board for increased throughput on my single port (I have a T2500 which my COM1 port couldn't drive at all well). I am very happy with the performance improvement, but I have been having trouble getting it to work bidirectionally. I have spoken to Computone support ('Angelo'), but as polite as they were, they haven't helped. The local supporters for 386/ix had no idea what I was talking about, but were pretty sure it wasn't their problem. I am using ttyi00 (no modem control) for output and ttym00 (modem control) for my getty (I'm actually using a uugetty, but there seems to be little difference). (I had similar troubles originally with COM1, but ISC's 'X5' update fixed it at that time). The failure I observe is that after any call-out the uugetty gets stuck in some way, and no-one can call-in. Killing it, resulting in a new uugetty spawning via init, fixes the trouble until the next call-out. I am dealing with the nuisance by running a program named uucico that calls the original uucico, then runs a shell that kills the uugetty. So far (I only installed this kluj a couple days ago) it's worked OK but I wondered if anyone has any sugggestions for a real fix? ----------------------------------------------------------- - Men argue, Nature acts /Voltaire - - - - ...for we never know what is enough, - - until we know what is more than enough. /Blake - - - - VPIX SUX /Me - ----------------------------------------------------------- loc@tmsoft.UUCP (Leigh Clayton) uunet!mnetor!tmsoft!loc
