Sorry if this  is old news,  but this site  doesn't receive the
comp.unix.microport newsgroup.  Please reply via mail.

Has anyone successfully  ported the  FAS driver  to uPort  V/AT??
I'm trying to get it running on release 2.4.0-U.

Is there any way to get a pre-release-2.05 copy of the fas driver
sources?  I got really close  to porting 2.06 to uPort V/AT,  but
I'm missing something.


I'm hoping that the #ifdefs for  uPort V/AT that I assume are  in
the older versions will help me out a little.

Thanks. Any help or comments will be appreciated.
