Well I have to report that there is no way that I can get the EasyIO-4 board
to talk to a modem properly.

The board compiles into the kernel. It's using the CirriusLogic
CL-CD1400-10PC-G chipset. ISA card.
The devices make ok into the /dev directory.

Connecting a modem and running Kermit produces no response from the modem
apart from the DTR light coming on.
ie;
Kermit> set line /dev/cue0   [ dtr light comes on ]  So something is talking
to the line.
Kermit> set carrier-watch off
Kermit> c

and here it simply hangs. No response at all from the modem.
Ctrl\+C eventually hangs up the line.

I've tried as far as I can tell to ensure that the cabling is correct - been
there done that -
So what is it and how do I tell? I have actually got no way of telling if
it's the driver partially working, or if it's a cabling problem after all.

Anyway, I thought I'd let everyone know. If you plan on using an EasyIO-4
(or 8) then you may just find yourself with problems.


cheers
Robert
