Operating Systems BSD Jumping from Solaris to BSD? Post 302443311 by figaro on Sunday 8th of August 2010 07:17:07 AM

The future of OpenSolaris looks highly uncertain at present, indeed. Among the BSD distributions, FreeBSD is the general purpose distribution, and the rest are special distributions for users with specific demands. It seems you will benefit most from FreeBSD given its wide userbase. We never have had any hardware issues with FreeBSD, but perhaps it is good to mention that we are not experienced in setting up wireless connections, which may be a requirement. Sometimes there is some unexpected behavior in automounting usb drives.

NAME
umct -- Magic Control Technology USB-RS232 converter driver SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device usb device ucom device umct Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): umct_load="YES" DESCRIPTION
The umct driver provides support for USB to RS-232 converters based on the Magic Control Technology USB-232 design. These devices support most of the standard RS-232 features including baud rates ranging from 300 to 115200 bits per second. However, neither hardware nor software flow control seems to be supported. Access to devices under this driver is via the ucom(4) framework and device nodes. HARDWARE
The umct driver supports the following adapters: o Belkin F5U109 o Belkin F5U409 o D-Link DU-H3SP USB BAY Hub o Magic Control Technology USB-232 o Sitecom USB-232 SEE ALSO
tty(4), ucom(4), usb(4) HISTORY
The umct driver appeared in FreeBSD 5.2. It is loosely based on the ubsa(4) driver by Alexander Kabaev <kan@FreeBSD.org> with documentation from Wolfgang Grandeggar <wolfgang@cec.ch>. AUTHORS
The umct driver was written by Scott Long <scottl@FreeBSD.org>. BSD
