Yes I've been trying that option out - something isn't setting up the ports
correctly so the 'mgetty' software is unable to get commands to/from the
modems to set up the config in response to the modem sending back a 'RING'
message.

Indeed.

Yes - I actually have a Magma 4-port and 16-port PCI card here. The PCI
version of Magma's Solaris 9 driver works flawlessly. One thing I thought of
doing is getting a cheap Netra t105 (which has a single PCI slot) to replace
the server hardware again, and putting a Magma card into that.

It's just the Solaris 9 Sbus driver that isn't working right, and Mobility's
people don't seem to care which in a way isn't surprising as one of the
first things they did after being out the old Magma was drop the Sbus
products. Neither the Sbus or PCI cards are even mentioned in the main
product section of the website now...
