Now they claim that 2.3 fixed all the tty bugs. Again, not so. The 2.3 beta I played with (supposedly the one with the fixed tty driver) is improved over 2.2 (at least you can run one 9600 baud terminal and Xmodem now) but 'cu' still loses characters if another tty line is in use. I'm still waiting for my 2.3 revision (the one that was supposedly shipped 6 weeks ago) so I don't know if the released version REALLY fixed the problem but, if not, I wonder what value their multiport serial board support is if uport can't handle even the standard two tty lines without character loss. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------- + Steve Manes Roxy Recorders, Inc.
