|The difference was that trying to access /dev/ttyD000 with minicom
|resulted in an immediate eip stack trace.

I had the same problem with 7.3....
They emailed me back with a long complicated fix.
Fortuneatly, for me the problem only surfaced with a kernel upgrade.
(unfortuneatly, I forget which version actually worked last....  the box has
been upgraded to Fedora now)

|Yes. Well, it depends on the definition of using... I still can't see
|any data being transfered from and to both ends, I suppose it's a cable
|issue...

Have you tried a loopback connector on the Digi card?
I'm willing to help you with this if needed....  even if I have to lookup
what version of the kernel I was working with that didn't have the problem.

PS:  Digi just sent (emailed) me a pre-release version that takes care of my
mmap() problem.  But, does anyone know if there are any problems loading a
module that was compiled under gcc 3.3.2 and not the gcc 3.2.3 version that
compiled the kernel?

I'm off to get my dialin network working again.....

Thanks.
