Anybody got any SunSparc1 additional serial ports experience?

[Leif Andrew Rump]

Is there somebody out there that have any experience with any of these
serial ports for the SunSparc1 or tried others?

I would like to know the following:

- Which SunOS version do you use it under
- Any good & bad experience
- How is the documentation
- What software drivers is included (capability)
- Does it give full modem-support (all control lines)
- What is the performance (your personal experience is appreciated!)
- Is it possible to run Sun 3270 communication with it
- Any problems running uucp, etc.
