Please, break long lines! 688 characters in a single line ain't fun. The UMC8662F multi-IO chip on the ASUS P55TP4N (perhaps also on other boards) is known to be broken. There's no possible software workaround for its broken UART implementation, alas. (The FDC is also incompatible with a NEC765, but FreeBSD 2.1.5 has a workaround that can mostly circumvent this problem.) Use a real UART card for UUCP. Or get your mainboard replaced. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
