There are patches for both 2.0.27 and 2.1.17. These patches are
pretty much the same as Miquel van Smoorenburg's original ones, but
have been fixed to work on Alphas too, to use 9600 as a default baud
rate, and to recognise a serial line BRK signal even when the
controlling tty has ignbrk set. I am using these patches on both
intel and alpha boxes to great effect.
Cheers,
Stephen.
