About week ago we noticed that transfer rate when uploading was way too low, around 1000cps on V34. We have now pinpointed problem to cyclades drivers; same modem with same settings in same machine but in normal 16550AFN uart serial-card gives normal transfer rates of 3000cps when uploading. Next I experiemented with different kernel and driver versions as follows: Kernel 2.0.5R, with drivers from packet cyb2.0fb.shar.gz or cyb2.0-32fb.tar.gz: When using modem attached to cyclades for receiving files, data transfer rate is initialy very high, aproximately 4000cps on V34, but drops down to around 1000cps in 30 seconds, and remains at that rate for the rest of the transfer. When sending files, everything works fine. Kernel 2.1.0R with drivers from packet cyb2.0fb.shar.gz: Kernel won't compile, I'll mail errors if anybody has any interest. Kernel 2.1.0R with drivers from packet cyb2.0-32fb.tar.gz: When dialing in, modem answers ok and prints normal login-prompt. After entering username, passwd is asked as usual, but after that nothings happens. Hard/software in use: Cyclades Cyclom 8Yo (yes, cables are fixed;) FreeBSD 2.0.5R or 2.1.0R, mgetty, 8 * Well AT/XT-2814SAM V34, Pentium 60mhz, 32MB, NCR810, 1GB SCSI-2 hd, Mach 32 PCI Please, mail or post any ideas what could be wrong, no matter how stupid they may sound, since i dont have any more things in mind to try out and neither of drivers are working. Have others got cyclades working with FreeBSD? If so, with what drivers and kernel, anything special to do? Thanks, Henrikki Karapuu
