OK, that will be fixed real soon.  I guess I'll have to get used
to typing that new address 3... instead of 180000 when I boot.  I
guess I really should get around to loading an autoboot image into
an EPROM or the NV-SRAM I'm using now.

Ah, yes, that is what you were after...  I never tried the new
driver with more than the console and the PPP link to my ISP.  When
I saw how well it did with the PPP link, a backed off to my old
kernel.  I am now in the unfortunate position of having upgraded
all my user-land code, so I can't really go back anymore. 8-(

I did try the local and softcar keywords in /etc/ttys on tty01 and
it did not seem to have any effect on the other Sun ELC / pc532
serial link.  (The main link being the Sun-ttya to pc532-tty00
console link.)

I'll help in any way I can if you need testing or a machine to work
on, but with a dynamic IP address to the Internet, we may have
trouble doing much with that, and slow and painful as debugging
through e-mail may be, that may be our best route here...

As a hint to what might be wrong (or perhaps a hint to throw everyone
off the track) ps says getty is running, and I seem to get characters
echoed from the driver at some speeds, but others look like baud-rate
mismatches.  I have never gotten a login prompt.  And I'm still
using cu on the Sun to connect to the pc532.  I have these entries
in /etc/gettytab and /etc/ttys:
