should set this to a very low value ;-)

If you have tx-problems with your BayCom USCC card please check
the manufacturer of the 8530. SGS chips have a slightly
different timing. Try Zilog... A solution is to write to register 8
instead to the data port, but this won't work with the ESCC chips.

*SIGH!*
A very common problem is that the PTT locks until the maxkeyup timer
expires, although interrupts and clock source are correct. In most
cases compiling the driver with CONFIG_SCC_DELAY (set with
make config) solves the problems. For more hints read the (pseudo) FAQ

I got reports that the driver has problems on some 386-based systems.

Many thanks to Linus Torvalds and Alan Cox for including the driver
in the Linux standard distribution and their support.
