This is FIXED if you get prom rev 3.14 and ask them for the driver version
3.54. We are were a beta site for that driver and I can honestly say that
it cured ALL the problems ESPECIALLY the hangup problem.

Again, try the new proms and drivers. You may be surprised. It is my
understanding that they sent their device driver guru down to SCO to
learn how to write one properly for Xenix. Since then they've released the
new drivers and my problems have been solved.
