Thanks; Near the bottom of the rc.local delivered with sunOS4.0.1: +======================================================================= + # Loadable drivers get loaded here. + cd /etc/modules + + # cg5 accelerated frame buffer driver + modload cgfive.o -exec cgfive.script + + # Uncomment the line below to load the AT serial port driver. + #modload ats.o -exec ats.script -conf ats_conf && chat 'AT serial port driver.' + + # + # We know that the above two drivers can safely run with kernel paging + # enabled, so we re-enable kernel paging now. + /usr/etc/kernpage on +======================================================================= check the manual page for modload, modunload, modstat. the sun386i comes with a generic IBM clone driver for COM1: and COM2: On the other hand, I want 19200 out of the additional port(s) I add and have not found any IBM PC serial boards supporting this. I am interested in any information on single or multiport boards, with or without drivers.
