Hmm, more mixed reports. I have heard that the sio driver was really buggy! Or so I gathered from these newsgroups. I have been waiting since the release of this patchkit for it to be "officialized", the main upgrade I am looking for is HW flow control on slip! Nobody seems to be able to tell me how to get HW flow control to work, except with a modified slattach. Well, should I wait any longer? Is officialization imminent, or does anyone know? Is sio good enough to use? Thanks alot! -- Protect our endangered bandwidth - reply by email. NO BIG SIGS! VaX#n8 vax@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu - Don't blame me if the finger daemon is down
