I am lost for an answer to this problem.
I have a Banksia iTra8 8 port internal ISA modem card (UART 16654) for dial up access. To get the modem card to work I was told to replace serial.c and SerialP.h from 2.2.x kernel source (used 2.2.14-12) and compile a kernel. Some problems are occuring detailed below. Could problems be caused by a bug in the replacement serial.c? The version numbers in the orignal and replacement serial.c match so I don't know.
Users can dial in and ppp is initiated using mgetty+sendfax. PAP authentication is used. Users are able to ping and traceroute through the modem link into a LAN and also across another modem link to the internet. Thay are also able to connect and logon to telnet, ftp and POP servers and DNS works. However they can't use HTTP(netscape and ie) for the internet just for the web site on the dialin server and MS Outlook Exchange client.
Telnet sessions from LAN also lock up after a while. When sniffing on the network a connection appears to be made for the HTTP to the foreign HTTP server but no data is sent.
Maybe a diagram would help

Do you need any files? I am unclear on which files to send you guys. Who is the maintainer of the serial code?
