- I'm using the ETHERLSL SLIP driver. It works fine.
-
- I wrote a program using Green Leaf's communications software
- library to dial the modem and login to the host. This works
- fine, too.
-
- Green Leaf's software saves the existing state of the UART, and
- restores them on exit.
-
- If the modem is dialed, using my program, then ETHERSL is loaded,
- everything works fine.
-
- The problem is that when ETHERSL is loaded first, then the dialer
- program is used, ETHERSL stop working correctly. It still works in that
- the computer has not crashed and it'll accept packets from an application
- and it'll send some bytes out the serial port, but it'll
- only send 4 bytes rather than the whole packet it was sent.
- And, the bytes it sends are always the same thing.
-
- It looks as though the Green Leaf software has somehow corrupted
- ETHERSL, but I don't see how since it restores the state of the
- machine. Any ideas how to diagnose this problem, or what to do?
- Thank you.
