This may be because RTS input flow control is broken. (The hardware flow control provided by the cd1400 serial chip can't work in general because the sender may not respond to it in time. E.g., it won't work (unless it isn't really necessary) for a 16550A sending to a cd1400.) >Next I experiemented with different kernel and driver versions as follows: >Kernel 2.0.5R, with drivers from packet cyb2.0fb.shar.gz or cyb2.0-32fb.tar.gz: >... >Kernel 2.1.0R with drivers from packet cyb2.0fb.shar.gz: >... >Kernel 2.1.0R with drivers from packet cyb2.0-32fb.tar.gz: >... Use 2.1 with standard drivers. Bruce
