Hi Ed,

Thanks for your response.

And I don't expect you to do all the work yourself - you can't be
expected to test hardware you don't have.  But where is the documentation
to let someone else adapt the drivers?

I have access to a Digi Xem boards at work and have poked around
inside the digi(4) code in the past.  My difficulty is that the cards
are all in use and upgrading to a FreeBSD-current that doesn't support
them and then porting the driver is probably not an option (whereas
converting it from using shims to access the TTY layer to doing so
directly would probably be acceptable - because I can get the board
going again in a hurry if needed).

I can't help with any of the others, sorry.

an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour.
