I had a Specialix card running under 5.0.6 without any problem. What
symptoms do you see, what error messages?

There was no error message either in the console or in
/var/adm/syslog. Even though the specialix ports having live
connections, terminals does not response. I have 24 ports connected
to this specialix card. out of which 4 worked. Even in those
terminals, once login and logout done, they have hanged. what are the
workarounds needed to have the terminal work normally under 5.0.6.

Thanks for your help. I am using gettydefs from 5.0.5 and vt100/vt220 terminals.

I have loaded rs506a again. This time all the terminals are working fine.

I shall observe this for a week.

Thanks again.
