Hello

Just a quick question to see if others have experienced this also.

We have a machine here with oodles of 8 port serial module cards in
it.

They are usualy initialised by the normal

setserial /dev/ttySxxx uart 16550A port 0xXXX irq Y

however, seems that lately we can send data (eg: init strings) to teh
modems and the modems can recognise DTR drops and TR signals but no
data will come back from the modem.

Is there anything that anyone has seen or known of that may indicate
what this problem is?

The cards arent fancy and they are non-intelligent.

any help would be great

thanks in advance

adam
