:> I have NetBSD1.1 on a 3000 with a 2232 card. I have not been able
:> to figure out how to use it.

:I assume you're running 1.1.

Thanks Jukka :-) I had already tried making new devices but didn't know
the major device number or where to find it. Your 'ls' was the key. It's not
in the /dev/MAKEDEV script. A local guru has since pointed me at
/sys/arch/amiga/amiga/conf.c and somewhat explained the 'cdevsw' structure
inside. 

:
:Use ttym* for dial-in and tty0* for dial-out.  The driver only supports
:8-N-1 for now.  It can auto-detect the UART clock speed, so you can
:double the clock to get 38400 bps on the A2232 ports.

Thanks for doing this. I see it's your code :-) I haven't hacked my board
YET.
:
:I'm not sure if the latest bug fixes have been accepted now, but the
:driver in standard 1.1 has some problems with carrier detect handling.
:I fixed those bugs well before 1.1 was frozen, but the gurus didn't
:include the new version in the tree (dunno why).

Is this available for ftp somewhere without upgrading to current?
