We are having some discussions with DigiBoard going on right now. Drivers for the FEP boards require signing a non disclosure agreement to receive the programming information. They have permitted a Linux driver developed using the non-disclosure agreement to be made available under the GPL and so there is every reason to expect they will permit a FreeBSD driver under the less restrictive Berkeley licence to be made available. However, the wheels turn slowly. In the meantime Andrew Chernov is working on a "Riscom" driver for another intelligent serial board. If you would like details of that board let us know. If you choose another Unix because of the availability of DigiBoard product please let us know so that we can turn up the heat.
