Are you sure you've got: . a Boca that supports CTS/RTS . cables that wire CTS/RTS . modems setup to use hardware flow control . tty ports configured for CTS/RTS flow control? sax.sax.de also uses a BB2016, and apart from the well-known reboot problem (some lines sometimes fail probing after a panic reboot), the card is doing fine. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
