Hi,

I just installed a 16 Port Cyclades card, and am having strange problems.
It shows up as below:

cy0 irq 15 maddr 0xd4000 msize 8192 on isa

However, in pstat -t, I get the following, instead of cuac0, etc...

16 cy lines

Furthermore, the ports just don't seem to work.  I can use cuaa0 and connect
to machines, however, the cuac0 does not work or return anything at all.
The device files look like below:

crw-------  1 root  wheel   48,   0 Dec 13 16:11 /dev/ttyc0
crw-rw----  1 uucp  dialer   48, 128 Dec 13 16:13 /dev/cuac0



Ideas on why this doesn't work or show up correctly?  Thanks..

paul
