Malcolm,

I think yoyu are right about the CELL driver  trying to work as a FIFO
device. There seems to be couple of different versions of the DRIVERLIB
in the source tree. I notice that the CELL driver is built with the
driver lib in devices/lib while the XDRIVER is built with the same
library (in name) found in devices/XDRIVER/lib. Why are there two
versions of the same library?

I do not have a fifo.orig or sockets.new in device/lib, they are
however, in device/XDRIVER/lib and in device/XDRIVER/lXDRIVER24. The two
directories under device/XDRIVER/lib contain connect.c both of which are
different to the connect.c in device/lib. The two directories under
device/XDRIVER/lXDRIVER24 contain another SWITCHER.c both of which are
different to the SWITCHER.c in device/lib.

I assume that the code in device/lib is the older, possibly out of date
code, as the XDRIVER is built with the library in device/XDRIVER/lib.
The XDRIVER (with-socket) works fine on both systems (Solaris & Linux). 

Any thoughts on what code is wrong and what is right would be
appreciated.
