I warmly suggest you get a fresh 2.1.43 and apply pre-patch-2.1.44-3 (in the /pub/linux/kernel/testing directory on ftp.kernel.org). I even installed this setup on an almost-production machine which has currently a 2-week uptime w/o problems. But I do not do masquerading...

I experimented with the two drivers on an 8-port PC/Xe. I could speak with the ports, but the carriage detect signal was not correctly relayed to the apps (this was on 2.0.29 or 30 a couple of months ago). Then I reverted to using the two standard serial ports, but in a few weeks' time I will need a third port, and by then I will have to give the digiboard another try...
Ciao Carlo
