[rescue] Sun SBus serial cards

Hi Jonathan,

The Xyplex servers are pretty OK, they have some issues with incoming

The problem I had with Xyplex was the need for CCL scripts to manage the
modem. I hadn't worked with CCL before, and couldn't easily find or adapt a
CCL script to work perfectly with a normal USR Sportster modem.

If someone could give me some pointers, I'd be interested in trying to make
it work.


I have a SBus Magma 16-port with the breakout (8-conductor kind) I could be

I'm kind of interested perhaps in just borrowing it, I'll send an email
off-list


Thanks,
