- Hi...
-
- Hate to disturb...but...
-
- I had, at one time, found a good FAQ dealing with AST
- boards...or so I think I remember. I cannot seem to find it
- at this time...that is, the one that deals with working it on
- Linux.
-
- If anyone knows where I can find it (and I'm still searching)
- please send me email?
-
- I had posted earlier about having problems with getting
- my AST 4Port board to work...and am still having no success. It
- is for that reason that I'm looking for that FAQ...but if someone
- knows the answer, but doesn't know where the FAQ is at, here is
- the problem...
-
- When I boot up the system, the kernel properly finds the
- AST board, except it 'recognizes' them as ttys[8-11], which
- do not exist. I figured that I had to mknod them, so I tried it
- out, but it didn't seem to work. After thinking about it, over
- dinner, it struck me like lightening...it is 'half' working...I'm
- getting communications in one direction, but not the other. Is
- that possible? It is sending out /etc/issue and login prompts,
- but isn't allowing the other end to enter anything. I set the
- major/minor numbers for ttys11 at 4/75, except I don't know enough
- about minor numbers to really believe that this is correct :(
-
- Maybe someone, probably someone, has more insight into
- this then me?
-
- Thanks loads...
-
- Marc
