The following is a message from the President of ByteRunner. I think it answered my question. - Nick ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 22 Mar 1997 14:06:25 -0500 From: Sean Dudley <sdudley@byterunner.com> To: Nick Liu <nickliu@uniqsite.com> Subject: Multiport Serial card from ByteRunner > I asked for a catalog from the ByteRunner. In the attached letter it > indicated that FREEBSD 2.1 supported it. > > The discussion I found in the archive all said the same thing: only up to > 115200 bps. > > What is going on here? Which FREEBSD support this serial card up to 460K? > Please e-mail me. Yes, FreeBSD will work fine with the Byte Runner cards at 460K. The Byte Runner cards have a jumper block which allows you to select the 1X (115K), 2X (230K), or 4X (460K) setting. If you select the 4X setting, then whatever you select in software will be quadrupled. So, you would set the card to 4X, and open the port in FreeBSD at 115,200 bps, and get a actual DTE speed of 460,800 bps. Sean Dudley President of Byte Runner Technologies
