I'm happy to release a new version of the Comtrol Rocketport driver,
version 1.08.  This fixes some race conditions in the open/hangup code,
which were discovered by Alan Cox (thanks, Alan!).  It also adds support
for the CSTOPB termio bit, which had been inadvertantly left out.  (I
guess most people never missed it; I had only gotten one complaint, and
that one had the bug fix in it.)  Finally, it has some provisional
support for 1.3 kernels.  That last has only been lightly tested, so I'd
appreciate it if those people who download it and testing the 1.08
driver for the first few weeks could send me e-mail telling me about
their experiences (good and bad).  I'm pretty sure things should work
well, but I'd like to get some confirmation.  Thanks!!

The driver can be found on tsx-11, in /pub/linux/packages/comtrol.  The
filename is comtrol-1.08.tar.gz.
