There is a severe problem (or set of problmes) with the Comtrol Rocketport
driver under FreeBSD 6.x, to the point that the driver is basically unusable.

The driver is returning duplicate input frames and otherwise misbehaving
badly.  There were no problems under FreeBSD 5.x.

Does anyone know what has changed in the tty subsystem between 5.x and 6.x,
or, alternatively if there is no update on this, is there a KNOWN WORKING
PROPERLY multiport serial board under 6.x?

This has totally hosed a number of my field installations when they attempted
to go from the 5.x operating environment to 6.x!

Thanks in advance....
