Configuring dmf device driver

[gihill]

We are just about to install BITNET onto our 4.2bsd Unix.   We have a
DMF-32 board and want to use the synch port as our BITNET line.  The
BITNET installation tape includes unsupported dmf driver source from the
University of Guelph that we will have to put into the kernal.

Problem is that we are inexperienced re device drivers (our unix-wizard
has left town -- are you reading this, G.M. ?), and aren't sure how to
configure this thing properly.  Some specific things we would like to
know are:

	1. What changes to make to our config file

	2. Are there any other system source files that have to be
	   changed before rebuilding the kernal ?

	3. What special file in /dev do we need and how to create
	   it using mknod 

	4. Others that I havn't thought of yet ...

I would like to get in touch with any BITNET sites that are using the
Guelph dmf driver and who can give us some advice on the above.

Please reply to me directly and I will contact you by phone.

Thanks in advance ...
