   Which version of the CS21 do you have?  We are using the CS21/F, which
emulates two DEC DMF32's.  Other versions of the card emulate DH11's or DZ11's,
neither of which have I tested.  We have been using one CS21/F in a VAX-11/730
and one in a VAX 8250.  Make sure you have the newest revision firmware if you
are running them with Ultrix (current revision is K as far as I know --  some of
the more recent fixes in the firmware were specifically for *IX accoring to
Emulex tech support).  We used the CS21/F with Ultrix 2.0 for a while on our
8250 before we upgraded it to 4.3BSD-Tahoe.

   Make sure your gettytab entries are correct, this could be a handshaking
problem...  also you may want to add 'stty tandem' to people's .login files.
