I'm running SCO Xenix 2.3.2 on a AT clone (386/20MHz) and I have a
DIGIBOARD PC/4 (4 ports, dumb controller chips).
I'm having some problems with this setup:
1> Sometimes, when someone hangs up, the modem is left in such a state
that it will not answer the phone until it is power-cycled. The RD (rcv data)
and SD (send data) lights remain on and the modem will not answer the phone.
2> Many times, output gets garbled, especially right before a read operation.
I have heard that the I/O chips on this board can be replaced by more
"intelligent" chips. Is this the case, and if so, what is the part
number of the intelligent chip.
On a related topic, is there anyway to flush typeahead in Xenix?? I am
using the Xenix equivalent of cbreak() (by setting various flags with
ioctl()). fflush(stdin) doesn't seem to work, although it doesn't return
an error code.
Thanks ahead of time.
