Someone asked for info re RJ45 serial multiport cards for use
on SCO OSR 6.

I responded to the poster and to the newsgroup, but have not
seen my post or a response from that poster. So . . .

Here's the source for low cost serial multiport boards that
are Universal PCI and RJ45 with drivers for OpenServer 6.

Bob, your return email doesn't seem to work, so I'm
posting this in the newsgroup.

Your information on the Moxa card was most helpful. It
was not a card that I was familiar with. It appears that
it has everything that I'm looking for. However, I
downloaded the OS 6 driver and the associated
documentation. After uunpacking the tar files, I
looked at the install script. It only refers to OpenServer
5; it does not mention OS 6. Same thing with the
documentation.

I then called Moxa technical support and asked about
this apparent discrepancy. The guy that I spoke to
hardly knew what OpenServer was, let alone the
differences between OS 5 and OS 6. He was unable
to tell me how to install it.

He said that he would check with Taiwan (their
headquarters) and get back to me tomorrow. I
have my fingers crossed. So, you might want to
try installing the card that you have as you might
not have what you think you have. If you do, let
me know how you did it.

Thanks for your valuable time,

Hi Chen,

How many ports are you looking for?

I work at Digi International, and did the port of our Unixware 7.x ->
OpenServer 6 drivers for a couple of our products.

Assuming you are looking for a 2, 4 or 8 port PCI card, you could get our
Acceleport Xr 920 PCI product,
which is supported under OpenServer 6.

I am also in the process of writing an OpenServer 6 driver for our cheaper
2, 4 and 8 port products called the "Neo PCI".
Since we didn't have a Unixware 7.x driver for that board, this driver I
actually have to do some work, and actually
write the driver from scratch. =)

Finally, you could get a board called the Digi Classic PCI board, which is
supported directly by OpenServer 6.
(It gets autodetected by the kernel and installs just like the built-in COM
ports)
I believe it comes in a 4 and 8 port model.
However, if you go with this board, you MUST go to the latest and greatest
MP from SCO, as there were
some problems with their driver with the original release of OpenServer 6.
