I'm running a TB+ using an Arnet Smartport, driver v 5.1.9, and except for
the bug with DTR not dropping under certain conditions things are working
satisfactorily.  OS is XENIX V 2.3.2.  I traced many of my problems to the
dialTBIT dialer, which was broken.  Using the Dialers file instead (with a
entry for initialization) seems to work OK - at least there haven't been
any LCK..tty3C files left in /usr/spool/uucp for a while now.

Arnet has promised an updated driver in three weeks (hint, hint).
