I'm having still my problems the serial port:
- date eventually arrives at the modem and back again, but it takes
very long :(
Today I happened to get the same behaviour out of a new Intel box, surprise,
surprise -> the irq had been set wrongly.
I examined the modem problem under Linux/AXP again, here are my findings:
- changing the irq value didn't change the problem that much.
(difficult to say now, subjectively it was then and now SLOW *grin*)
- cat-ing /proc/interrupts showed, that interrupts are arriving on IRQ
4, but rather slowly (minicom default init + quit strings -> 14
interrupts :( )
- drivers/char/serial.c seems to contain alpha specific stuff, but
that seems to be for non PCI boxes, right?
any help/pointers appreciated,
Andreas
P.S.: Question: If I'm elligble for DEC support (at the moment even
on-site :) ), can I perhaps contact DEC support outside Austria?
(The local technicians around don't seem to be that COMPETENT :(,
and it proved to be a better solution to rejumper my Multia
from 166MHz to 233MHz myself than to wait 3 weeks for onsite service.
(I've bought a 233MHz Multia, there 233MHz printed on the LCA,
it seems that it was just wrongly jumpered.))
