3. ENHANCEMENTS

  cpci
  ----
  -- Initial Release
  -- Supports both Classicboard 4/8
  -- Set initial version to 1.0.0Beta1

  rpm installer/doinst.sh/predelete.sh
  ------------------------------------
  -- Compiles and installs the driver at rpm install time
  -- doinst.sh/predelete.sh are scripts that installs the driver on rpm -i, 
     as well as deleting the driver on rpm -e
  -- doinst.sh/predelete.sh - version 1.0

  createdevs
  ----------
  -- Small utility that creates devices using a particular major number
  -- Version 1.0

  cpcicreate.sh
  -------------
  -- Since we're doing dynamic device allocation with this driver, this
     script awks/greps out the major number of the currently running 
     driver, and creates devices on the fly, using that major number.
  -- Version 1.0

  rc.cpci
  -------
  -- This file can be called at boot time, thus initializing the cpci
     driver (and the board), as well as using cpcicreate.sh/createdevs
     to build the proper tty's.
  -- Version 1.0

  failures.txt
  ------------
  -- Document that describes common failures on installation, and their
     respective fixes.



4. BUGFIXES

-- Initial release, no bugfixes

5. KNOWN LIMITATIONS

-- Since the rated throughput value of the Linux tty/FLIP buffer code is 
   25k per second, 460kbps users CAN and WILL see speed bottlenecks.  This 
   is not a digi bug, but rather - is a well documented problem with the 
   tty management code within Linux itself.

6. HISTORY

-- No history - Initial Release
