Hi.
  I just installed 2.1.7-RELEASE on a 486-66 with 16 Meg of ram and am
trying to get a Boca BB2016 to work in it.  I tested the same card in
another 486 running 2.0.5-RELEASE which I have been using a Boca BB1008
for quite a while.  The card works fine in the 2.0.5-RELEASE machine (So
I know the card, cables and adapters are working...).  When I run try to
use it in the 2.1.7-RELEASE machine using tip, the serial port never
sends anything and tip hangs when I attempt to exit using ~.

Have I missed anything obvious?  If you have it working, can you send me
an example of your kernel configuration file???

Many thanks!
  Dabe
