Introduction

   The Digi RealPort driver is a set of TCP network drivers that provides
   real tty functionality for Digi's Ethernet-based Serial Products.

   This driver supports SCO Openserver 5.0.4, 5.0.5 and 5.0.6

   This package also contains:

      1) drpadmin:	Allows root to add or remove Realport products
                        in the driver.
      2) ditty:         Digi's stty replacement.
      3) dinc:          A cu replacement.  Simpler to use than cu.
      4) dgipserv:      Stores and saves an IP on selected Digi products.
      5) dgelreset:     Allows root to reboot a local or remote EtherLite.


Supported Products

    PortServer
    PortServer II
    PortServer TS
    Digi One RealPort Device Server
    Etherlite 2, 80, 160 and 162 units with RealPort firmware


Enhancements

    This is the first release of the completely rewritten
    Realport driver.

    ditty printer option is now supported.

    On package removal, you will be given an option to save your
    configuration.  If selected, the package will save all the
    current inittab and ttytype entries of all configured Realport ports.
    This will allow for easy driver upgrades without losing any configuration.


Bug Fixes

    None.


Known Limitations

    This driver has a limit of 255 Realport products.
    Each Realport product configured will use 1 major number.
    SCO Openserver has a fundamental limit of 255 major numbers for
    everything in the system.
    So the real limit of the amount of Realport products that the driver
    supports will be based on how many major numbers your system has
    left to give the driver.  Check /etc/conf/cf.d/mdevice, along with the
    man mdevice(F) page for more information.

    SCO Openserver requires us to declare the amount of majors we plan
    to use and then rebuild the kernel, and reboot.
    When adding new Realport products to your system after installing the
    driver, it may require you to rebuild and reboot your system.

    SCO Merge is no longer supported.

    The default TCP port for RealPort units is 771.  This port is officially
    reserved for rtip.  If you are using rtip you will need to configure
    your units and RealPort driver to use a different TCP port.


History

   This is a complete rewrite of the existing Realport driver.
   All of the old History no longer applies.


Notes

    The fastbaud table of substitute baud rates is now:
        0 - 0
        50 - 57600
        75 - 76800
        110 - 115200
        134 - 131657
        150 - 153600
        200 - 230400
        300 - 460800
        600 - 921600
        1200 - N/A
        1800 - N/A
        2400 - 2400
        4800 - 4800
        9600 - 9600
        19200 - 19200
        38400 - 38400

    The new ioctls to get and set custom baud rates are defined here:
    #define DIGI_SETCUSTOMBAUD (('e'<<8) | 106) /* Set custom baud */
    #define DIGI_GETCUSTOMBAUD (('e'<<8) | 107) /* Get custom baud */
