To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu
I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has used NOS as a dialin slip server
or as a terminal server for a largish number of serial ports (4+).
Does anyone have any recommendations for good cheap multiport serial
controllers ? (Available in Australia preferred) I'd like to support
at least 4 ports at 9.6k, but may need up to 16 at 9.6k, or 19.2k.
If anyone on the list has run NOS with a largish number of serial ports,
I'd be keen to benefit from your experience if you wouldn't mind sharing
some of it.
Thanks
Terry

The 4-com 4 port board runs around $100 US and is the equivelant of 4 16550s and
can run at speeds upto 115.200b. It also allows you the use of the higher interrupts
found on AT class machines.
I'm not sure of it's availability in Australia.

One of the main routers in the Seattle area 'seanvg.ampr.org' is running two of
the 4-port boards. Seven of the ports are at 9600 and one is 19200. We expect to
raise most of the ports to 19200 soon. This is on a 386sx 16mhz machine running
a version of JNOS that I modified to support eight asy/slip ports.
I plan on sending Johann the necessary mods so he can include them in the standard
distribution. The changes are trivial.

hi all,
i uploaded a miner fix to my nos2bpq code to
ftp.ece.orst.edu and uscd.edu. it is jnbpq14.zip.
this fixes a problem with the iface send cnt display
in dobpqstat. i have updated the doc file and done a
little house cleaning. see jnbpq14.txt for more info.
thanks 73
