We've been using Stallion EasyConnection & EasyIO cards with the RJ45 adapters for a little while here with very good success. Debian has the stallion.o module precompiled, you just have to make the nodes in /dev (I believe a script was included in a download from stallion.com). The stallion.txt in the Linux source/Documentation has good info too. I believe you can get D-style blocks too. Just recently, we received a USB->4-port adapter from pearle (pearle.com). It seems to work pretty good. We are haveing a problem with one program when it forks, so we're trying to trak that down (a) a bug in the program, b) a problem with the "unstable" kernel shipped to us on the box, c) a problem with the USB drivers when a program forks like that, d) a problem with the usb->serial driver). I'm putting my money on a) as we have already compiled our own kernel. Sorry to stray off topic. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
