Subject:   Boca8 getty problem 2.1.5->2.2.5
Message-ID:  <4.1.19990110191548.00c225f0@nething.com>

I just moved to 2.2.5 (using the "upgrade" install) from a 2.1.5 box that
contains a Boca 8-port board.

Prior to the upgrade, the board was working fine.

After the upgrade, getty shows there are processes for each line, but
nothing appears on the screen, and characters typed at the terminal are
echoed back.

I can "cat" a file out the port (after shutting off getty to it) and I can
start a telnet that has stdin and stdout redirected to the port, and it
works OK.

So, 2.2.5 sees the port and can access it, but getty is dropping the ball
somehow. Was there some change between the two revs?

I've checked the mail list archives and faq/handbook, and can't find
anything relevant.

Thanks.
